I'm currently up for SM promo next year in the big 4.

I've been approached to apply at Bain and Kearney (obviously need to go through the interview process).

Does anyone have any insights if it's worth staying at the big 4? Obviously money would be better at the other two, but would settle for less if it meant keeping the current work life balance.

Apply. Why wouldn't you at least take the opportunity to ask those questions during the interview process?

Agree, will apply and ask. They already said expect 60+ hours per week but I was hoping someone who actually works for one of the two companies could say how realistic the WLB actually is.

Kearney is more travel, less WLB.

Anyone have general tips for this situation?

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?
