Plenty of threads about this. Expect ~60 hrs per week on average.

So M-R, from 8/9am to ~11pm, then Fridays a bit less? And by on on average, are there a solid number of quieter weeks or are they very efficient at getting consultants fully utilized at all times lol

Fridays and most Thursdays are protected. Also no weekend work. It’s slightly better than MBB.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector.

I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
