MBB consultants how often do you work on weekends?
Even if i was not explicitly asked to work, I feel the need to work on some things so Im more calm on sunday/monday… always so stressed and anxious.
Is this common?

Almost never as a Consultant. Almost every weekend as a Manager. I could probably skip it, but the extra 2 hours does wonders for my own anxiety and peace of mind on Monday morning.

if you're based in Dubai and have clients in Saudi then it's certain you'll be working 6 days a week. Friday might be an early day under best case scenario in my experience

I think not so much in consultants, but as a manager is almost required if the case is intense

20% of time slight weekend work (2-4 hours) + 5% of time full weekend crunch (driven by ExCom/BoD)
