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

I know I'm in the minority here (and I swear this isn't a brag) but is anyone else less stressed this busy season working from home, and finding issues focusing because of it?

I'm able to sleep throughout the night and not wake up early (which is a huge negative right now) and literally feel no need to stay glued to my computer as in prior years. Am I broken?

Hello,

I hope someone here can help me 🫶🏽. I graduated from Rutgers Business School with a double major in Supply Chain Management and Marketing, 2021. I am currently an Area Operations Manager at Amazon ( 7 months in the role). However, I am looking for a better opportunity.

I feel burned out working 14/15 hours a day and only getting paid for 10hrs. With no motivation to go to work, my mental health it’s not where it needs to be because there’s always so much drama in my work place.

Typical college won't work for me. 4. I also can't relocate.
