Input on ghSmart?
Was reached out to by their team and have read about it — love the focus area of their firm and conceptually the way the talk about balance, but a bit skeptical and would love to get insight from anyone who works/worked there to understand it better. Specifically, how does the staffing actually work and what’s the reality of work/life balance. Knowing there isn’t junior staff / analysts, how much analytics are you doing and via what tools? How does comp above base work?

It’s real because they don’t have staffers. It’s freedom and choice. Meritocracy comp. Experienced consultants only so very high end clientele and yet plenty of flexibility so you can have a life too, more than anywhere I’ve seen. Impact, money, and freedom.

Did you ever learn about the above questions (particularly about reality of w/l balance)? Curious as well!

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
