Gosh that sounds rough!! It is case dependent for sure but typically 60 hours with little to no weekend work. Typically looks like 12-13 hours Mon to Thu and 8hours on Friday. Of course sometimes it is 65-70 hours if the timeline is tight but I have never had anywhere close to the 90-100 hour weeks that I hear are very common in banking.

Bain north America probably averages 55-60 a week in general practice. More like 60-65 in PEG. Almost never any weekend work in either case!

Hi OP and PE1, how bad is PE hours? Also, comp-wise(post-MBA level), is it better than MBB?

We legit never have to work weekends on the Associate/Consultant level.

Mbb def much better hours than that by in large. North America does at least

what firm are you currently at?

I was on a VDD (probably the worst project from sustainability perspective) previously and hours got pretty bad during the week 9a-3a for a couple of weeks, BUT that meant I could 95% disconnect from work (i.e. check my email).
If you want better hours, do non-DD / corporate work

I think splitting the co-op fees makes sense

My job (no longer a senior accountant) is high volume and fast paced. I’m getting on average 50 emails a day with at least half of those containing action items, in addition to the high volume of work I have on a daily basis. I am a CPA, have worked in audit and was briefly in industry and this is absolutely destroying my mental health. I need something a lot more laid back—I’m not afraid of hard work but this is too much. Please leave suggestions, I’m terrified of what this will do to me.
