Not too bad, but you are fractionally staffed at all levels, so that can be annoying

It really depends on the group, projects, and management.
I've never been unstaffed here and things never properly slow down like they might at a big 4 or Accenture because you're always staffed on something.
Most weeks push 55+ right now.

Ah I’m curious about joining that group. Do they notoriously have the worst WLB?

I've gotten lucky and both my projects started and ended at the same time since June, so definitely have gotten some type of "bench" time. I've also been screwed bc of the opposite so the commenter aboves point can also be true lol
