No one “likes” working long hours, but you’re going to have to (and without constant complaint) if you come to MBB
I was in the same situation as you, look its an either or situation.
Like working with smart people - any mbb or t2 will do but working hours will suck.
Unfortunately although there are a lot of smart people also in industry and more normal jobs, they will be slower, less incline to go beyond or in depth, go the final mile. Plus you would be stuck in middle management for life most likely. Put in the hours now, profit for the rest of your life
KPMG is not no name!
It’s not KPMG :( It’s a very small firm in the Netherlands
Don’t worry about MBB vs non MBB. If you like consulting, there’s a lot of really excellent firms with bright folks, and they’re always hiring. When you start optimizing for WLB, it becomes a little tougher - just as a nature of the field - but that could be a good thing as it’ll help you narrow down a smaller short list to target. Honestly, I’d just start with a google search of “consulting firms + good work life balance” (half of this job is googling stuff anyway) and see what comes up. Best of luck to you, wherever you go next.
Thank you for the honest and motivating comment. Highly appreciated.

Move to somewhere with a better name, especially since you’re young.
Go ahead drop the firms name!
Do you want to stay in consulting? If so, try to move to a better firm. You probably won't go straight to strategy right away, but big 4 or accenture might be doable if hiring normalizes in a few months.
Also consider business school in a few years. Of you can get into an M7 or T15 school, there will. E plenty of job opportunities laid out for you.
