None? Consulting sucks you’re life no matter the firm, and as a dad you will always be assumed to have more flexibility than working moms, regardless of the situation. Sure a slalom or smaller firm might be better but at that point why not just go to industry?

Always fun when a female MD makes you cancel something with your kids because she has a piano recital or soccer game with hers.

I spent time at KPMG early in my career- the demands on your time are not too different.

Spent time in both big 4 and MBB. I feel consulting is incompatible with any sort of consistent parental presence.

The Partners I see with children all have stay at home spouses or au pairs. Funding either is a noble pursuit, but at trade off of less hands-on parenting

LEK isn’t bad all things considered - parental leave is good and once you’re back you can opt in for up to 12 months of a core services role with no impact on pay for the first 6 months. Also health insurance benefits for family is inexpensive. As far as the job itself, it’s probably better for the C/M roles when you have more flexibility. I’m an SLSS (SAC) and I’m finding the hours downright brutal. My son is up at 6am and doesn’t care if I’ve been working late and there’s only so much you can do WLB wise to adjust

Point B. Better wlb

What would you like to know? I just recently joined but know that they have better wlb for the industry, are ranked well as a best place to work, and are scaling their business fast

West Monroe has been amazing to me and my family over the last 8 years. Work/life integration is a primary focus for us and PMs all really do their best to hold true to it on projects.

Has anyone hosted their own engagement party? All of my friends and family live far away from us so it is just easier for me to plan it but I feel odd doing so. Any tips?

ADHD medication with high Blood Pressure?

I found ADHD meds helpful when I worked in consulting in my 20s. I stopped the meds when I went back to school. Also have had High BP since late 20s. 15 years away, I am back in consulting and loving it, however my difficulties juggling so many projects/tasks is holding me back. I know I would benifit from some ADHD medication but my Dr won’t prescribe any with my history of BP (controlled with BP meds). Anyone else gone through this? Any tips?

I’ve been trying to get into the top tier Associate Product Marketing Manager position Google for some time now for just an interview and I feel like business majors somehow have such a stronger chance in getting interviewed especially my business school and I feel really discouraged as an Econ Major and I have a lot of marketing experience that I’ve built over the years. Are there any non-business majors in the tech realm in non technical positions at Google that can advise me?

Am I the only one whose time entries get worse the busier and more chaotic a specific case is? Like for example preparation for a dispositive hearing with a lot of factual and legal issues that’s treated like a fire drill. My time entries are chaotic and rereading at the end of the month I feel like the time was totally justified but also like wow it sounds like we were jumping all over the place and we were, lol time entries were not your typical sequential one step at a time thing.
