Marketing is going to be a very different experience than most replies you’ll get here re: general consulting.

Bain is great. Culture is awesome (at least in non covid), pay is great, the work is interesting at least 50%+ of the time in my experience (in consulting side of business).

WLB is trash in consulting but marketing is probably more 9-5.

Depends on the role but many work a 40-50 hour work week. Of course there are times when it can be more but it’s rare. Definitely something to ask about during interviews.

Marketing @ Bain is super chill and generally 9-5 depending on your level/position. All the perks and benefits of working at a top firm with non of the WLB issues that you might see on the consulting side. We of course get paid less than consultants, but from what I’ve experienced, we’re still paid much higher than industry average (outside of MBB).

Fantastic! Thank you for the info.

The marketing team doesn’t pay well.

Their senior managers make $130k, no bonus.

A marketing manager at a F20 makes $180-210k TC.

I’d skip it.

Hello Folks,

UST provides variable every 6 months. On offer it’s mentioned as annual component, but HR is saying it will come every 6 months.
Also for PF deduction, do they deduct only minimum value of 2100 and we can’t get it altered to 12% of basic pay. UST UST Global
