McKinsey & Company Bain & Company LEK hours can be bad, but from what I’ve heard from my MBB buddies, they seem to have it just as bad if not worse. MBB fish - can you confirm? I’d say our undergrad hires are at 60-65 hours and our MBA hires are at ~63-68 hours. Trying to compare averages only McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group L.E.K. Consulting

I’m a 2nd year C (out of MBA) in North America and my hours probably average 60/week. I’ve had long PMO cases where the hours were 50-55, and strategy cases where the hours were 70-75. It depends what you’re doing.

Similar hours at my office (Europe)

BCG offices are very heterogeneous. Are McK ones tend to be more or less the same?

IME hours are broadly similar across MBB and the "T2" firms, crappy all around, it varies more based on office and practice and project.

I’ve been averaging 55? ~1 year mix of strategy and DD. Most Cs (not completely new) I’ve talked to are around 55-60

55-60 BCG london

55-70 on average for me, but varies heavily depending on the case / team you’re on - BCG NAMR

55-85 for me, 70 on average /:

55 for me, close to office average

For me it’s been 50-55 avg on strategy cases, 60-70 on DDs

I am a field marketer. I travel and cover 12 states. HQ is across the US on the east coast. My manager put a surprise calendar invite twice now to go to home office without consulting dates to see if we were available. I stood up and asked to be included on available dates and said I will attend virtually but asking me to be away for 4 additional full days away from my family without asking me is not OK. I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?

Ok. I know that social media has made a lot of AAVE slang popular. I get that.

Someone in a meeting this morning suggested we use bffr and said it means "best friend for real." Like at least research the term before you try to use it.
