I’ve been working in pe ops for about 4 months and it ranges daily for me. 9-13 hours a day and sometimes some weekend work? It’s definitely different depending what you’re doing though. Some people probably work a lot more

Actually the minimum is usually 10 hours

I've done MBB and PE Ops. PE Ops has generally better WLB, but still 50-60+ hrs per week minimum. Can be heavier during diligence or when starting a new project. Also, in PE Ops I've had much more control over my schedule. Much easier to accommodate personal and family needs. Also PE Ops pays better for fewer hours!

Cause you also get to boss around the consultants instead of getting bossed around :)

Any thoughts how difficult to get an FP&A job with this experience and whether I can get an FP&A manager title? Also, can anyone share the WLB and work hours in FP&A?

Anyone have any tips for overcoming burnout? I’ve had some toxic work environments over the last 10 years and finally in a company I value with a job I feel valued in. I worked hard to climb the corporate ladder and ended up taking a down level and a slight pay cut to feel happier and I definitely do BUT I still feel the effects of burnout on the daily. I also feel guilty for not feeling more grateful for how good I have it and for lacking motivation. Any advice from others that experience this?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Weighing up a top buy-side offer, but worried about perception on my overall tenure within roles.

May only be in this new ASC role for ~1y (personal circumstances). This would make 3 roles in ~3.5 years ( T2 consulting -> MBB -> buyside) out of undergrad. Long-term want to be entrepreneurial / do early-stage investing (Partner-track at a fund), have clear rationale for previous and future moves.

Is this an issue or am I overthinking? Thoughts?
