How does WLB/hours change as you progress within McKinsey(BA->EM->AP)? In other words, do you work less hours at McKinsey when you become more senior?

My impression of WLB from best to worst

BA > Senior Partner > Associate > EM/AP/Partner

Fair. We don't have that at BCG.

The formula you agree to in your offer letter is that the hours will be 2x your age, with a +20 hour premium until you hit 40. Then it’s just 2x your age. This is why you don’t see anyone at 65 at the firm - it’s no longer physically possible to meet your obligations.

Ohhhh

Opposite is true unfortunately but you have more control on when you want to work them. It’s also less page making and more just problem solving & sales the higher you go.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
