Hi Sharks,

Am I crazy? Currently interviewing at LEK, Oliver Wyman, and Deloitte strat for (essentially) entry level positions after working in biz dev at Microsoft for under a year. I’d basically be trading my WLB for away for the same salary I make here, but I feel like I’ll learn way more in consulting and be a more well rounded person. My friends say I’m crazy, need a reality check…

In the very fortunate position to be deciding between offers from McKinsey and Bain for entry level. Any advice on which to chose? and is London culture and wlb significantly different between MBBs? Currently leaning towards Bain as my long term career goal would be PE/VC exit and people just seemed nicer. But I know McKinsey brand is strong.

Looking for advice or thoughts. I've been married for about 4-1/2 years, a consistent issue in our marriage is that I either work too much or I'm not available enough. I work in a sales office, 8-5 M-F. Various issues arising at home have required my attention 30+ times in the last 12 months. I have worked from home most of those occasions. We have a real emergency now but my GM says I am pushing the limits. I actually agree with him, but it's causing problems at home. Thoughts?
