Anyone from Boston Consulting Group Boston Consulting Group (BCG) working in non-consulting - Technology/Engineering/Global Services?
How's the work life balance? Glassdoor reviews are full of "long working hours" and hence wanted to know if it's the same with non-consulting folks as well?
How far is it true across the organisation?
Please help me shed some light to decide.
Thanks.

I’m sorry for your loss. Animals are part of the family and grieving for them is normal. Time helps you cope.
I worked for a Partner who took 2 bereavement days after his family’s dog died. He was one of my favorite bosses during my career. Very kind person.
As with most loss of life, celebrating their journey and remembering times spent with them helps…
Take a day (or two) and grieve. After that focus on specific work tasks to district you. Eventually you will feel okay. Hang in there!!
I don’t have advice. I just want to say I’m so sorry for your loss.
I forced myself to forget and somehow managed to block it off after 2-3 days
Hope that repressed pain doesnt come out in other ways and affect work and/or personal relationships
When I had to put down my cat, I was freelance and continued to work. It kind of kept my mind off it a little. Plus our cat could have had a better life and we couldn’t have asked more of him. But it was tough.
So sorry for your loss. I don’t have an answer but I wish you well
So sorry for your loss.
I would mention it to your senior. If he/she is a nice person, they will be supportive. You very much should be allowed to take a day or two to cope. Sorry for your loss
Thank you everyone for your condolences and perspectives! My heart goes out to those that have experienced loss as well
I’ve lost a few close family members, some tragically and unexpected and 2 dogs both unexpected. They all hurt brutally and equally. Dogs are family. This too will pass with time, but only that. That may not bring immediate comfort but know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Give yourself some grace. You are allowed to be sad, upset and not able to think straight. You don’t have to explain yourself. It will take time but there will be happy days again.

Sorry to hear. Sure he/she brought you happiness and had a happy life. Let yourself be sad for a bit, everyone handles it in their own way, talking helps some and solitude helps others. Do what you need to do and honor their memory. Once it passes make sure to exercise a bit to knock off the funk and get your mind and body moving.
All dogs go to heaven 🐶 😇
I'm so sorry, this sounds incredibly painful.
I have known people to take sick days when their cat or dog dies, which I think is appropriate because mental health is health. To people that don't know them, they can say it's a 24 hr stomach bug.
But my advice would be to tell people, so if your focus or work isn't at its usual level they know why.
You may also be surprised with the empathy and support you get. Others will see you as a role model for being yourself at work and open up more, too.
Take care of yourself.

It is normal and natural grief. You push through till you get better. I’m so very sorry.
Losing one of my dogs is the deepest hardest biggest pain i have experienced. This coming wk is her passing anniversary and i have been having a very hard time without realizing it. I had to get therapy and just cry as much as i needed. I took 3 bereavement days from work. My boss and coworkers always knew my dogs are my everything. It affected me in more ways than expected. Hope your experience is better than mine. Im sorry.
In 2020, we lost our first pup to a tragic accident. She spent hours in the dog ER and then we had to make the decision to put her down the next day. I am pretty sure I took a few days off and charged the partners PD code. I still think about it and her often but my wife and I have 2 pups now that remind us of her almost daily. It gets easier❤️
Celebrate the wonderful life you were able to provide them. The loss hurts, but it’s only temporary.

Personally, I have been through this a couple of times with family pets that were in our family for 10+ years and both got cancer and died pretty quickly and unexpectedly, but I would have a hard time empathizing if someone came to me and told me that they needed to miss work, for example, because of the death of a pet.
Wow, P5 is a real piece of work
