BCG is just like Bain, you get paid holiday in the four aforementioned days. Majority of the cases enter a billing break, with most people taking vacation to protect from short term staffing. Nearly everyone is able to travel/go home

like

Nope, unless your case leadership feels they owe the team and give you protection...

like

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve (not always), and New Years Day are paid holidays. Other days are workdays, but it is generally easy to take vacation during this period and most people do.

like

BCG1: is there any time that’s off for the holidays? Can you request time off or work from home?

McK requires you to take 3 PTO days during the holidays in addition to the holidays off. Additional days are on a project by project basis, but all in all, many get almost 2 weeks off. The firm basically shuts down at the end of the year

Sounds just like Accenture

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.
