WLB was non-existent in my experience

It’s probably the same grind you’re used to then. Always an email away from the next fire drill

It probably has the highest burn out rate in strategy. Quick 2-4 week projects. Can’t speak to the pay but the people I worked with were cool

Run. They cut some heads in that group during covid. No career growth potential within that group.

Not true KPMG 2… the whole firm had to layoff back in Covid and we laid off the least, and not only came back from that but are hiring like mad across all offerings including CDD. Also sector focused so career growth even stronger now. WLB…when you are in deals there is a different balance, I have found it no different than other firms and and because it’s embedded in Strategy, and sector, you can take a break from it for other projects.

Thanks all. What are the levels (M, D, etc) and what are typical years at each?
