From what I’ve heard, WLB is slightly better in Europe and much worse in Asia, especially the Middle East
Splitting hairs. In the US though, due to sheer size of the economy and diversity of clients, you tend to find a lot more depth and breadth of expertise.
Agree Americas/Asia> Middle East/ Australia > Europe. Not sure about Africa though🤔
Does the MBB name carry less weight in the US if you come from abroad bc of that? Obviously it’d be marginal and I’m probably splitting hair but just curious!
Pro
No. However in some regions Bain is a distant 4th, like in DACH and France, where Roland Berger is the clear 3rd
Having worked in MBB in Western Europe and US myself, no significant difference in WLB (if anything, better in US)
Pro
Depends on the project and the region. In DACH it can certainly be (lots of vacation though), East Asia and some MEA offices are also not good WLB.
