LEK has it worst, S& has it "less worse". All others are similar, with some variance depending on the practice

If we're going to throw anecdotal evidence in the discussion, I can for sure say LEK people have it worse. And I have yet to meet any LEK person that says he/she averages "55/60h"

Worst WLB: 1. LEK 2. S& 3. Kearney 4. OW … ?

Lol it’s not 9-5 anywhere

I wanna hijack your comment to let everyone else know - its way more than 9-5. In recruiting, they often use this “not 9-5” terminology but its so ambiguous. Think 8-11 M-W, 8-8 on Thurs and 8-5/6 on Friday.
