I’m actually pretty productive from home. I think the key is setting up a desk/computer situation that enables productivity. I’ve done the whole “lounging on my couch with a laptop while watching TV” thing and that just kills productivity

Company just said that we will soon be "mandatory" hybrid (2 days a week). I'm someone who willingly goes in 1 day a week rn for reference and I'm still pissed about this. I have loved the flexibility of wfh and CHOOSING when to go in when I feel i need too. Also they aren't changing the vax mandate in place, and have said they won't fire anyone because of it. So people who choose not to get vaccinated are basically rewarded with continued wfh while the rest of us may be forced back

Thinking of applying to BCG, but what I want to know is how much life science work one can truly do at BCG (%-wise and what kind - e.g., TA strategy, P&MA, due diligence), and is the WLB worse (this might be a no brainer but I’m genuinely curious if anyone can speak to how it compares to ClearView). If it is worse, do BCG folks feel like the comp makes up for it? For context I have a PhD with <2 YOE. I’m also curious on whether folks think WFH is here to stay as an option for BCG in the future
