Well… I work that or even more at Accenture for 25% of Mck’s salary. I feel like a masochist…

Oh yes, even as a partner you don't get paid on par. As an expert at McK I now get what a L4/3 gets at Acn. I can't understand how anyone remotely good keeps working for Acn

I’m anywhere in the 55-65 range

48, some intense weeks might be more, but it's not the norm.

Senior EM level. I say "No" a lot more than my peers. If I try to embrace all "opportunities" they send my way my life would be hell, my work quality would suffer and I wouldn't be distinctive.
At reviews nobody is taken down by the quantity of studies they declined. Remember that.

They literally got offended and stared at me for asking about WLB...

Seems companies are not learning, even after the great resignations.. the big names... Like TCS, ibm.. are not doing any changes to their work culture and ethics to improve WLB.

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig?

Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?
