My sister works McK implementation Australia... and is doing 60 hr weeks minimum. Not sure it’s going to be much better for you if less hours is what you’re after

like

MI folks are often staffed interchangeably with generalists and others (at least at associate level), so might very well be on 70+ hour studies regularly. There are lighter lifestyle cases out there, but I don’t know anyone (including implementation friends) who routinely stay in that <55 range

BCG OP, have you considered a research/knowledge, solutions, or expert role?

If at McKinsey, expect similar hours for solutions and expert roles FYI

like

do you guys charge all the hours if you regularly work 60-75?

We don’t track/ charge hours. We have timesheets for tax location tracking purposes, but they’re always filled in with a flat placeholder number. Utilization isn’t a metric that were measured on until AP so no real reason to capture accurate hours
