The quality of life is more manageable than big 4. Overall, the hours are not crazy and most projects have flexibility with travel (not always M-Th). Comp will most likely be less, but I’d take the slightly lower comp for sanity 👍

More than 2 consecutive weeks off requires permission. (I think) I'm not exactly sure how it works but a consultant on my team had to get practice leader permission for 3 weeks. not a big deal. Overall, the firm tries to do good by their people. Milage may vary based on practice but even the worst is pretty damn good.

It’s a new benefit...I think most who have taken that much time off at once have been with the company for a few years. I’m sure there are exceptions that I’m not aware of.

WM1 I heard the company offers flexible time-off, have you or know anyone that has taken advantage of that by going on say, a 3-4 week vacation?

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
