I’m gonna guess it’s similar to a Bain Manager:
1. 1 case
2. 55-65 hours, depending on case/team/partner
3. Managing client senior stakeholders (directors, C level), managing everyone’s agenda, assigning tasks to the team, coaching the team, involving the partners and keeping them up to date, cracking the case with the team

Hours will be longer than 55-65 easily unless it's a cushy client (which it never is)

PLs get squeezed in the middle since Partners are pushing down storyline and shifting priorities, while A/Cs are seeking guidance and possibly going slightly rogue (especially C2s trying to mini-PL).

As PL, you're also most on the hook for day-to-day project management, team management and stakeholder management. It's a nightmare.
