I hear people say hours are longer at BCG and Platinion than they are at PwC or Deloitte. What are BCG hours like?

Principal here at BCG. I work 50-55 hours on average. Maybe 60 in a crazy week. Ruthless prioritization helps!

So are they 8am to 7pm?

funny

Definitely depends on lots of factors- location, type of case, partner team, etc. I’m a consultant and have probably averaged 55 overall, and maxed out around 70 on a few tough weeks when I was just starting out/learning.

I’d say 60-65 for Cs is average

Is this for real?
I work till 12 every single day. Sometimes when I am staffed on projects where we get back at 9, I feel obligated towards my boss.

Exactly! 12 hours on a good day!

Definitely varies by project and to some extent practice area. I’ve mostly done tech strategy which is on the higher end (65-75, full team working these hours).

But if you run these hours for a while, staffing can rotate you into an internal project to cut you a break. Seems like what many TMTers do, at least in northeast.

I’d say 8-8 most of the times

Depends on which region. I’m south and sometimes have 70-80 hour week, but on average 55-60

Agree with 60-70 hour average

Platinion has the same hours? Why would someone work the same hours at the same intensity for way less pay than BCG?

I probably work 8-10 m-w, 8-6 th, 9-5 Friday

Considering moving to Denver to be closer to nature and family. Husband and I can easily transfer jobs. No kids yet but ideally soon.

We live in Chicago (Lincoln park) and love it - the walkability, bar and restaurant scene, shopping, cleanliness, etc. - and are trying to find similar neighborhoods in the Denver area. I’d like something bougie (not afraid to admit it), safe, with single family homes and that’s not too hipster/crunchy/west coast grunge. Any neighborhood recommendations?
