There is definitely work life balance.

Not true - leadership is really good about making sure you have a good work life balance.

It all depends on the project and the team/team leaders you work for. I've work for 2 of the big 4 consulting firms and had a great work life balance.

Mostly true, but it always depends

It depends upon your travel schedule.

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
