I'm not in PS, but the WLB at GT should be better than Deloitte and other big 4. I've never heard anyone at GT say that their WLB at GT was overall worse than big 4.

In comparison, I work 45 hours a week at D now- being in advisory and public sector. So I do get THATS hard to beat

I'm GT Public Sector and I bill 40 hours per week on client work. It's a little busier during proposal time, but nothing unmanageable for me. Most I've ever done is 50 hours (client and firm work) and I get exceeds and maximum bonus (pre-covid) and had no problems getting promoted. Manager 1 is right though, be prepared to work on BD when asked if you want to grow here.

I joined JPMC today as an Associate in Plano, TX. I got another offer at Morgan Stanley (Associate too) in NYC. I like the team at MS better and I have always wanted to work in NYC and would have started looking for opportunities 6-12 months down the line.
I'm on my F1 visa (OPT) and it's my first job ever (also first job in the US). MS is aware of my situation and is fine if I work for a month at JPMC and switch over. But I don't want it to have a negative impact on my career and my future!

Weird idea. Is there a way we could set up like a virtual work room? Like one where we're logged onto something like skype/messenger/Google meet/zoom/ZooRoom/Discord or something where we can all be working at night time, but at least not alone. It would mostly be silent, but misery loves company? I legit hate working alone for the whole day and then into the evening too.

Additionally are market research outcomes considered a source of truth re a drugs commercial viability or is it just one input?
