4 months each time, 2 summers in a row.
I didn’t get fired. It was glorious.
Each summer involved daily trips to the gym followed by pool beers to undo every gain I made.
I regret nothing.
I heard about a guy on the bench for almost 2 years @ PwC haha
Pro
Was on the bench from Oct - Dec when I first started at Accenture. Wasn’t staffed at all. Got promoted same year too.
4 months
at bcg?
Was on the bench for 6 months when I just started off as a consultant…I’m in Europe and don’t speak the local language. But then I did one strategic project for 1.5 months and got promoted to senior lol
Had 4 YOE in other fields prior to consulting.
I’ve heard of folks being on the bench for 4-6 months and they never got fired.
Benched for 3 months from Oct-Dec when I first started and again for 3 months the following year. Probably was at the very end of what was considered acceptable tbh.
Almost 8 months. Nice bonus, nice raise during that time. Slow times in the Restructuring space… but they don’t fire because “it’ll bounce back soon”
