This is probably subjective and case dependent, but which T2 has significantly better wlb vs MBB and other T2 peers on average and with higher likelihood? Potentially looking for another firm to go to or exit consulting altogether

If you’re looking for a whole new adventure with a bit of familiarity Monitor Deloitte ME has a few ex MBB managers and they all quoted joining for better wlb. The tax free part also helps ;)

100% anecdotal but I have friends at EYP and they don’t seem to hate their lives nearly as much as I do. So there’s that.

Yeah, I’m looking hard for an exit. The stress and hours are just not sustainable. Sucks too because the work is super interesting. If it was a 40-50 hour job I’d never leave, but 70-80…no.

Personal experience regarding WLB. Big 4 strategy >> MBB > T2

Sub scale T2 shops are not set up to succeed in the future of consulting and it ultimately hurts WLB.

The recruiter left the firm. I turned down in the middle of the process (no offer yet), so might have to start all over again haha

Probably none or some specialized boutique.

Consider going internal in industry— WLB is amazing, pay, not so much.

What’s your base… and what level were you at ACN?

We have slot of long term projects that aren’t bad wlb. But you also grow less on them

I’m at S&. As long as you aren’t in DS/PEVC, you should be good with 55-65 a week. We have a ton of teams in S&.
Any T2 except LEK would give better WLB than MBB with slightly slower or similar pay as MBB. EYP, S&, Kearney, Monitor Deloitte, OW. Idk if KPMG has strategy consulting.

We do. It’s M&A heavy.

Depends on the practice. My practice at Accenture is laid back but still interesting. I rarely work more than 45-50 hours a week.

That being said, I have friends in other practices who can easily clock in 60-70 hours.

Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
