I’m thinking of doing a rotation from Europe to San Francisco in the SIM practice.

Are the projects fun?

How is the work life balance?

Do you have a good office culture? Is everyone a colleague or do you sometimes hang out outside of work as well?

1) IMO, office culture has declined quite a bit in the US since most people WFH now. That said I know there are groups of people from the SF office who are friends and routinely hang out outside of work

2) In general, I think WLB is solid in NA. ~50 hours per week (or so) with higher peaks around major read outs

3) Really like all the SIM partners I’ve worked with. SIM works with a lot of fantastic companies but I think a lot of the projects are substantially similar (pricing and packaging). This isn’t necessarily bad since there’s a defined process but probably not the most interesting in the long-run

Agreed on this. If you want to stop doing the same project over and over, you likely will need to go to B2B or FS, where there are much more commonly true strategy consulting projects.

Mind you, this makes for a much harder project and worse hours, since you’re usually trying a novel approach to solve a problem.

I don’t love the company’s culture so I’m going to keep looking but would it be worth leveraging the offer with my current org? I’ve only been there for 7 months
