Literally every strategy firm is high burn. Especially financial services.

It’s the nature of the beast.

I think it was worse five years ago. There has been a change in the culture over the last five years.

Is there still a lot of burn, sure. Significantly more than MBB, probably not that much more.

It’s not so bad.

It's online with other strategy fs practices. So, yes, it's demanding.

Things got better under Roland. Unclear what things will look like in the new equation

Yes

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected.

That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
