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

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be.

I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
