Why? Esp across MBBs and at entry levels? What can be the rationale?

I’ve heard Bain’s culture is pretty great. Bcg is all about finding extra value for clients because we’re all so insecure so if we finish work at 3pm, we’ll spend the night doing extra nice to have work. Bain finishes at 3pm and goes and gets hammered on a Tuesday.

I think Bain is 100% following the right path, have tried to be that way at BCG and get attacked for it. Watch what happens when you comment that someone from bcg works 45 hours a week lol, other Bcgers go crazy
