The kid is too young to work at MBB right now! Wait a few years!!
You can make it work if you want to. Be extremely clear that you'll go home at 6-7, eat dinner and read some with ur kid for 2-3 hours, then jump back on. In most cases (FS included) it should work if you work for it.
Friends not to apply for MBB because i will be taken in as a fresh Associate and will have a shitty work life balance specially with a kid, though most work will be in Toronto because I am FS focused. What are your thoughts?
At BCG you’d come in at a post mba Level, consultant. Hard to say what your personal life will be like but mine has been great. Teams very respectful of my family (2 kids). But if you are unwilling to travel it won’t be a good choice I think
Happy to help. LMK if you have other questions. FS likely is "the place to be" to cut down on travel
??
Let me rephrase:
is 33 a late age to start as an associate at MBB?
Is it still worth it to apply to MBB given I am up for Manager soon at Deloitte?
Will being an Associate at MBB mean I wont be able to spend enough time with my kid?
My thoughts were that since I focus on financial services, Toronto is a great location because I want to stop traveling. Consultant friends in Toronto who focus on financial services say there is almost zero travel.
Thanks C1, BCG2. One of the reasons to move to Toronto is driven by the decision to not travel anymore. Guess will bring it up in the convos with the firms.
C1 are you toronto based?
Unfortunately not
Work life balance isn’t determined by the firm.?Its more determined by your projects and manager
