Hi everyone. I know you are the WLB in consulting in the world is bad but in general in Europe it is better than other parts of the world. So does the WLB in consulting in Italy slightly better than US or UK?

No. In nordic countries like sweden or the netherlands it is better, because they know what’s important (=life) and what can be handled the following day (=work). In Italy you can still find a culture of working late, extra hours, going out late from the office if your manager or team is there, and so on

Aah, I see. I just started working in Italy and so far it has been good but maybe that's because I'm a newbie

Well it depends on the company and the team you work on. What country are you from?

My experience has been that Milan hours are much worse than North America hours despite being less productive overall. German hours are better than North American hours.
