Anyone from Boston Consulting Group Boston Consulting Group (BCG) working in non-consulting - Technology/Engineering/Global Services?
How's the work life balance? Glassdoor reviews are full of "long working hours" and hence wanted to know if it's the same with non-consulting folks as well?
How far is it true across the organisation?
Please help me shed some light to decide.
Thanks.

I understand what you are feeling and going through. Maybe, you should take some time off from work under FMLA. When we are mentally exhausted if we don't get the necessary help needed it can lead to other exhaustion. If you can please seek out professional counseling. Talking to an expert can help you navigate through your situation.
I don't know if my company qualifies for that. Were a bit of a mom and pop shop type of agency. So I don't know if I could get away with that without getting in trouble.
I completely understand how that feels — it’s painful when something that once brought you joy starts to feel out of reach. But losing your creative spark doesn’t mean it’s gone forever; it just means you might be in a season of rest or redirection. Sometimes creativity needs stillness to reset. Try taking the pressure off — explore things just for you, not for an outcome. Inspiration always finds its way back when you give yourself space to breathe. 💛
I wanted to wait until the holidays to take a break. But at this point, I'm considering a career change away from the creative field entirely. I'm just so tired.
I’m sorry you feel this way, this industry has a way of doing this to people, being a creative for an agency really sucks the soul out of you.
Do you have any creative outlets completely separate from your career? That has helped me immensely, I put a lot less pressure on myself at work because I’m not as invested in my work identity. It’s just a paycheck. My other creative endeavors are where my soul is at.
Not currently. I used to write as a side hobby alongside drawing. But I can't even find the mental energy or inspiration to do any of that. I did recently slowly start trying to get back into sewing and upcyling my clothes. But it's been a very slow reintroduction due to low motivation.
