How’s the work live balance on software implementation vs strategy projects

Strategy projects are almost always worse. 6-weeks turnaround with C-Suite review - extremely iterative process for time-compressed deadlines and high expectations due to rates.

I see other practices / teams on their Y2 of implementation, updating a pack that no one reads and then squandering off by 3pm. Obviously it varies but generally speaking, this is what I have seen.

Literally every LEK project lol, but usually 4 weeks

at deloitte i feel the implementation can be worse because of offshore handoffs and the culture on tech teams. the “strat” we do seems basic vs what mbb/t2 do

Do you ever feel like there are rooms you’re locked out of? I’m a black woman, i lateraled to my group a few months ago with minimal onboarding and welcome.

People have invested less in me and it’s going to show in a few years when she’s up for partner and I’m still catching up.

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy.

Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

Summer intern at BCG. I've been told by a few people that you need to spend your first few cases "earning your stripes" to gain staffing optionality or be servile/loyal to a pyramid to gain access to the cooler case work within that PA. It's seemed particularly emphasized at times.

Is this the standard at McK? I'm trying to guage the staffing optionality and openness of McKinsey culture to direct your random walk.
