Recently joined PwC and very overwhelmed with the constant overwork and late night working. I didn't expect this to be a norm in EU. Anyone else has faced this?

Welcome to consulting 😂

It’s not a norm in EU. It’s consulting. Consulting salaries are not the norm too.

Normal. I usually end at 7pm. I do however, start around 9:30.

That’s typical within the big 4 and law firms, no matter what country in the EU! Usually people will do a few years for the prestige of having it on their CV.

Actually consulting in some EU countries can worse than in the US

How do I keep my team engaged when I am also struggling to stay motivated?

Our department has had a lot of turnover within the last few months, all of which were from different reasons (school, family issues, opportunities close to home, etc.). It has been a challenge to divide the workload, while still trying to remain flexible and provide a work-life balance.

However, I’m starting to feel stressed and disengaged. Any suggestions to make it through the changes?

I just spoke with a software architect that went back to school to learn software engineering after law school because it was more lucrative and had less hours. He’s worked his way up and has the skills and authority to work 6:30am-10am and gets to work remotely. We discussed that results/outputs is better than billable time like in law and public accounting. Yet, his parents and others would view him as “lazy” but he does his job and makes a fantastic living. Time>Money and Results>Hours
