Don’t do it

The hours are trash and everything I’m seeing on staffing is either a long term PMO/IMO or some boring role with a retailer (e.g., GNFR, change management). The work has been very underwhelming since I started. The $$$ is in long term implementation projects for the partner so I get it. But doing this for 60-70 hours per week legit sucks.

If you’re already working those hours doing the same type of work, then maybe it’s worth it just for some extra cash.

C1 - Being at Salesforce now I’m looking to go into less tech-driven consulting.

BCG2 - that does sound concerning. I wonder if the region you’re in has an impact on this, i.e.: US vs Europe

In my experience (BCG) it's all about the teams you work with (some get lucky, some like BCG2 do not). I've averaged 55-60 over my time here so far. I've done some cool cases, some boring. I actually prefer/try for the boring ones because they're generally less work.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
