Is anyone still happy at work? Since moving to MBB I don't recall enjoying what I do anymore. Not sure if it's the job or the pandemic.

My dip in job satisfaction is entirely driven by pandemic reasons. Being on teams that still travel and co-locate make it much better though.

At least you got that MBB prestige, right?

like

I give myself a pep talk in front of the mirror every morning to remind myself of all the prestige bestowed upon me that I’m not worthy of.

Then I go and light a candle in front of my McKinsey Shrine, say a couple prayers to Marvin Bower requesting strength & professionalism, and just keep chugging along.

Did you read that article about the girl at McKinsey that cried everyday. Can’t imagine you guys are the only ones.

I haven't. Would you have a link?

Were you at a different consulting firm before, or in a totally different role?

Different firm, slightly different role

OP I’m about to move from Big 4 to MBB. What is so different now that you don’t enjoy anything at work? Did you previously enjoy you job at your former employer?

70 - 80 hour work weeks. I think for me it's largely about not having the time to be curious, inventive. Execution is paramount and there's no time to stop. Do, do, do, do. I feel like a machine.

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school?

Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.
