McKinsey & Company How’s hours looking in PIPE/PEPI at McKinsey & Company / Boston Consulting Group? PEG is getting cooked right now, 75h weeks are standard now it seems even with all the AI leverage

For both PEG and non-PEG, AI leverage seems to be translating to more scope, rather than capturing efficiencies for better WLB. This is dangerous because adding scope turns into a runaway train, hence the hours.

Partners aren’t going to anything about this because they either don’t care about the team at all ($ > team), or are insecure about their revenue. Plus they’re more distant from the teams than senior managers and they take advantage of that distance, so the SM is forced to clean the toilets.

All this to say: we are taking AI gains in the wrong places and are amassing an incredible amount of unproductive tension that falls on SMs to solve.

28 hours a day

How is the travel on these projects?

None

Why have the hours increased exactly?

Clients are increasingly asking for more complex questions and have higher expectations
