It’s the worst WLB in the firm. It’s really brutal. I was on a training with some BAs from the Seoul office, and it made my NY life seem nice and cushy.
Examples include:
- not wanting to hand a deck to the client that is less than 100 pages
- the clients coming back from dinner every day at 9-10 to check that the consultants are still working
- weekend work being the norm

Can’t answer that with specifics but I assume it’s much lower

Hard WLB but awesome people

They got a nice new office though!

Thanks! LinkedIn search shows only 70 people who work for McK located in Seoul, which sounds tiny… is this accurate?

Not everyone uses LinkedIn- especially outside US

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
