Is Amazon WLB really worse than consulting? In what ways? Feel like I spend so much time and energy on firm initiatives and BD that presumably wouldn’t exist in a traditional industry role, even within FAANG.

It is better than consulting

Following. But I heard Amazon and FB are worst. Even google with some teams. Check the YouTube channel by tech lead. Funny guy!

Stress vs WLB is very different. My hours aren’t great, but I don’t think consulting is very stressful (since we don’t have ownership)

Yeah slide modifications are unnecessary stress. Real stress is profit margin, sales targets, customer satisfaction, etc

Also if you work in Retail or any function that touches inventory sold to customers, you will work almost 15 hour days during peak/holidays. Outside of peak WLB is generally fine but stress levels can be way more intense than in consulting.

I’ve heard the same about Amazon. I wonder how true it is.

I'm really struggling with depression/anxiety already and on top of that I'm on a difficult busy engagement (difficult client and manager).

I have a job offer which seems good (more pay and development) but in an industry I'm not super passionate about. Coupled with a nagging feeling I should wait for the "perfect exit opportunity" to avoid hindering my career, has resulted in me being extra confused and stressed.

Any thoughts or guidance?
