I wish you the best for Xmas, but wlb at any of those tagged places probably isn’t that great

Honest question: do Big4 consultants have a wlb problem in the US? Here in Germany they definitely don’t. On the flipside, they’re paid horrible too.

Dear Santa 🎅 yes miracles do happen.

In the US, you can easily get the TC with Deloitte. The WLB… unlikely. WLB is also subjective but, averaging 55hrs a week not including travel is not what I consider WLB.

55 hours a week is an overkill with regards to wlb but it can be done since the rest of you all do it.

Santa: would you be more realistic and like a live dinosaur as a gift instead?

Honest opinion: you won’t get the TC with good WLB r McK. Or maybe there’s 1% of chance you could

Let us know if you find this golden egg! In my experience, you can’t have it all at once - WLB usually takes a hit once you get to the level where the other pieces are unlocked. Good luck my friend! -fellow Canadian

Well I have been nice 🙃.

I think it’s going to be really hard to get this…like virtually impossible. You’re asking to come in at least manager without any consulting background.
I have 16yrs consulting and three yrs industry as a executive and McK wouldn’t budge on the level (EM)…and I have a M7 MBA.
But good luck.

Santa: drop the wlb and then we can talk. I’ll get you the 250 in any HCOL city you want, f you up real bad and then give you the best benefits on the planet to recover. How’s that sound?

Thanks for the response and contribution all. I gained some insights from this.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
