Never once in my life

Booz Allen doesn’t pay us enough to pull all nighters. If you’re doing that with any regularity than you’re Booz Allening wrong. I’ve worked late occasionally but have never been close to pulling anything near an all nighter.

Did 2 all nighters in the first year of my career, at a different firm....0 in the next 2 years, at firm 2....and 3 in week at firm 3 (a serious clusterfuck and I placed out shortly after).

Not since grad school. I wish I cared enough about my job to pull an all nighter.

@SC1 definitely not pulling all nighters, just asking generally

like

@SA1 Absolutely. Description is based on a friend I know who works for an investment banking company in NY and pulled one a week. That’s where the timeframe stems from.

Would be interested to know if work schedule varies by public/private, region, position level, etc.

1 every other 2 weeks. Don’t do hybrid agile

Only for my own stupid reasons - def not work

like

Because you are often really forced to agree to all three parts of the triangle cost, time, and scope is hybrid agile and everything works in two week sprints, you end up pushing too much into sprints and having a day of hell at the end of every sprint.

Zero. Stopped that in my twenties

like

Generally once a week

I don’t think all nighters should ever be thought of on a weekly basis regardless of firm, that should absolutely be a once in a blue moon kind of situation. In 3 years of consulting I’ve done 2 all nighters, both with very specific project reasons.

@D1 hybrid Agile?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

There's a lady at work who's probably very smart and good at her job but i feel like she's so dumb sometimes because she always has ideas about how we can reduce our workload by moving it to another team offshore which is obviously great for the company because they have to pay less money for that work but it could mean that our jobs become redundant eventually. Our company has had these sort of transformations in the past and i just don't understand how she doesn't see this
