Explaining GoSystem to people
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.

McKinsey & Company Has Mckinsey met BA headcount quota for the year/did they freeze hiring? I interviewed and got to last round last year, and applied again with a referral two months ago but haven’t heard anything from recruiting. Last year I heard back within 1 month of referral drop. I would’ve thought with my 1 more year of experience I should be able to get an interview easily.🥲 McKinsey & Company

Wanted to share smth I found recently. I felt like it was pretty darn accurate. I’ll provide the link here but there’s a screenshot I took that I feel I can relate to quite heavily. https://pairedlife.com/love/infatuations
I’ve struggled with so many heavy infatuations before and a friend recommended this. Hope it helps anyone else out there who’s gone through this or may be going through this right now.

Been living with it for years and I’m an open book about it to coworkers Bc I also think it’s my super power. There’s an ADHD bowl you might want to check out. Hang in there! DM me with any questions
I’ve been managing ADD and a consulting career for four years. Feel free to be in touch with questions or venting
Look, when it comes to imposter syndrome, this may or may not help, but you are way smarter than you think, big time. Do something to build your confidence. Find bosses who love you. You are more than enough as you are
To be honest, I understand your hesitation. Definitely builds a dependency for me, to the point I can’t really function without it and it stresses me out to no end when that happens. However I’m very productive and much better on it. It’s different for every body I guess. Just my 2c and experience
I’m a bit hesitant to take adderall b/c I’ve heard a lot of info on dependency and addiction (pills, alcohol, etc) runs in my family.
As of late I’ve been Pretty anxious and depressed about it all and it’s taken a serious toll on the quality of my work. I hate coming in every day b/c I feel like an imposter. I want to quit and have a fresh start at another firm.
Exercise, meditation, caffeine. I suffer from diagnosed ADHD depression and anxiety. I don’t take any meds anymore for reasons you’ve stated above. My motivation is not intrinsic, it comes from the caffeine in my tea
Is there anyone you can talk to at your company? There are other medications that you may be able to take. Did your doctor go over them with you?
The main reason to be in touch with HR would be if you needed accommodations. They prefer to not know your diagnosis anyways. Maybe you and your dr can come up with some accommodations that could help you feel more secure. Check out the JAN website for reasonable accommodations for ADD. In my experience, best to just find a project that fits as oppose to having accommodations
I try to only take my adderal every other day. Still get the benefits without building up the dependence. Be open with this concern with your doctor and they can maybe come up with alternative treatments or make sure you aren’t becoming addicted
