It depends, but generally pretty good. Implementations can be heavy at times, but I’m typically between 35-45 hours a week

Mainly because of that, but also things just move slower. My clients have no sense of urgency, and with red tape/bureaucracy, everything needs an ungodly amount of signoffs, so before movement can be made on a project, I may have to wait 1-2 weeks to get permission

Gps green dot worklife balance fairytale?

Not a fairy tale. Some projects are still going to be high stress and high turnover. Firm initiatives and utilization will still Max people out.

I think WLB is similar if not the safe across the board. The only differentiator is firm initiatives required beyond billable hours. At EY, we’re required to spend 5 hours a week on BD, training, volunteerism, etc.

helpful

The firm initiatives really start make the WLB difficult on top of the regular load.

It depends on the client and your leadership... Mostly your leadership. For me it's been amazing. 35-45 hour work weeks. The hardest part has been that my client wants responses right away so you are tied to your computer.

like

The expectation on projects I was on was billing 45 hours and the expectation of the firm was PRD, training, networking events, getting a certification to get promoted, etc. If your reference point is 60+ hours a week then, yeah, it's WLB, but if your expectation is 40 hours a week, it's not.

So all the federal consulting firms are similar as well? I.e., booz, Accenture federal etc.

Are there any that are known to be sweet shops?

Yea. I'm really not interested in doing any work outside of billabe engagement work. Dont care much for bonuses eoy

My total experience is around 7+ years and am currently working in a MNC from the past 4 years. I was planning to make a switch to some other company but recently my manager has mentioned to me in person and as well as on my appraisal feedback (in writing) that I will be nominated for the H1B visa in the coming cycle. This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?

4 YOE in Federal consulting. Currently a C at $85K and just received a 5/5 performance review with super positive feedback from my team and leadership. Noted that I was the top performer and was doing stuff at a senior level.

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!
