Which differences, if any, exist between European countries in consulting?
E.g. I experienced that Dutch consultants fight for their WLB, while German ones just accept an increase in scope or longer work hours. What are your observations?

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Does anyone get so anxious about work that they can’t eat? The thought of food just makes you want to puke? How to manage? Skipping meals/not eating for a day is unhealthy and will cause weight gain

PwC (Cloud Digital practice ) VS. Deloitte (AI Cognitive Data practice ) as Sr Mgr.

Hi, does anyone know the salary of a manager in IT Audit (or regular audit) in the big 4 in Singapore? Also, do you know what the working hours are like in normal and busy season. Thanks in advance

Working from home in customer support provides so much flexibility as a stay at home mom. I can take care of the home, my babies and work without feeling guilty ….talk about mutli-tasking!

How many hours a week are you working? I’m generally clocking about 50-60 and I’m exhausted. I’m busy, but it’s mostly because no one I work with has any boundaries.

A lot of people here seem to glamorize MANGA positions - good pay, and good WLB. There has to be a catch, right?

How does WLB/hours change as you progress within McKinsey(BA->EM->AP)? In other words, do you work less hours at McKinsey when you become more senior?

Am I the only one left at the end of the month trying to bill 10hour days to meet hours because I slacked off at the beginning of the month? It’s a vicious cycle. Then the end of the month hits and I’m so exhausted that I need to take it was the next week... and the cycle continues

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Have an offer at EY as a SC2 for 140k base and 5k sign on in their commercial practice.
Currently a SC2 (about to be SC3 and begin promo year in January) at Deloitte in GPS making 110k base, but getting a market adjustment next week. The EY job seems "meh" as far as the actual work and currently have great WLB/easy life with good metrics and clear upward mobility. Thoughts on the offer and if I should switch?

I'd prefer to leave D to go to some sort of tech company vs another b4 tbh

Which resume line would provide better signaling of talent to employers?

Anyone want to talk about what they are expecting as a baseline % bump at the end of the year? I’ll go first, 20% minimum before considering performance which was a mix of exceptional / very exceptional; lol! I have good anecdotal evidence that the market easily supports this.

What do you see as most attractive exit ops in Europe? In the US, everything is about Tech/FAANG, but it seems way less attractive in Europe (less strategic roles, comp. seems much lower than in the US, very centralized around London/Dublin).

Exit to Amazon London L6 with £95k TC (68 base, 10 bonus, and 19 shares, vesting 0-3-8-8). Is this a fair offer?
I was hoping for £100k TC.

Just wondering in the Netherlands how is LoonZorg for expat insurance? The deal seems too good to be true as the premiums are a fair bit lower compared to other providers.
