Honestly, how bad are the hours at CMAAS? My firm is telling me I’m going to drown and I should stay if I value my WLB. I don’t know who to believe anymore.

Hours are project dependent, as is all advisory/consulting gigs. Personally I work between 45-55, rarely more and never less.

Chase the money

i’ve been averaging about 45 hours in CMAAS (been in the group and staffed for a little under 6 months).

My worst week was like 52 and my manager apologized profusely the one night I worked until 10. It’s team dependent but i’ve had a great experience, plus the pay is really good.

I’m sure as a manager up hours are worse, but not brutal on my team for associates and seniors.

55-60 but some may be more or less. Engagement dependent.

I don’t know anyone averaging this, that’s like 2800 hours for the year

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back
