How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

It was for me. I was tired, but was *usually* getting to see my kids *enough* whatever that means. Planned to stick around for P and then leave before Pa. Ended up getting an offer for rockstar P $$$ and jumped as a PL2.
Great experience. Glad it’s done.

Wow. Sounds like BCG has way better WLB than McK!
I worked 45-50 hours a week as a PL. had a great WLB and was top box until I was promoted. This job is what you make it
Come join the fed practice and it’s guaranteed 😉
In general the PL role is really demanding, but the specifics will vary by partner team. Some teams will run you into the ground while others will allow you room to breathe and figure out what is sustainable.
That being said, I think at least 6 months in-role is worth it regardless of which bucket your team falls in. After that, you can shift into industry roles with similar pay but better hours.
Honestly it’s a lot better than being a C. And P is better than PL. As you move up you have more flexibility in your schedule and opportunities to do more interesting things.
To answer your specific questions hours vary but are usually in the 55-65 per week range. Travel most weeks Mon - Thurs. On some weeks or some clients it can be less. See family and friends Thurs night, Friday night, and weekends. Not different from more junior roles and actually had more control of my schedule once I was a manager not an individual contributor
It was a tough transition to PL for me. The first 6-9 months were especially rough, and it was a function of getting used to the requirements of the role, bad clients and demanding partners. Once you find your feet, I think it’s much more sustainable and enjoyable than being a C..also, $300+k in a lcol city doesn’t hurt either
