Memorial Day is right around the corner. Do you find your workload lessens or jumps in intensity as you get closer to what is usually a 3-day weekend?

Usually when we are coming up on any holiday everybody starts wanting to jam pack a ton in, like we are going to miss a month of work in a day. So far though nothing has been going on, of course they might just be waiting until the end of the week to panic.

The problem with a holiday weekend is that the workload jumps but my motivation only seems to go down hahaha. I don't know what it is about a holiday weekend coming up but I just find it so hard to get anything done and I know if I don't that I will come back to an insane workload.

We are thankfully in a quiet period and I’m going to push my team to enjoy some quiet time.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

Hey Fishes,

Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.

3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
