Not to sound like a dick or anything but at this point in your career you should be focusing more on opportunities to learn and not on work life balance. Deloitte will be better from a learning and branding perspective. As far as work like balance goes, you really never know until you get on a project. It all depends on the client and project, not overall company

yeah that's good advice--I am definitely looking in midmarket and industry as well

on most weekdays. I hear Accenture has better w/l balance but Deloitte work may be more of what I am interested in because I am more business/marketing focused than tech. What do people think is a better fit for me?

dc1--i haven't had w/l balance for the past two years and it takes it's toll. Just based on my personality working past 11 and weekends as a norm is not sustainable for me.

Tryin to seek work life balance in mbb, big4, Accenture, etc is really rolling the dice. You may get lucky, but you should kind of expect it since that’s what our industry demands. I’d encourage you to look at midmarket firms like slalom if you’re looking to stay in consulting but wanting work life balance at the same time. Otherwise, you may want to look at strategy in industry

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
