Bain & Company Which MBB / T2s / (boutiques?) have Flex Time options? I would love to work 80% for 80% pay to take a few months off every year (e.g., 1 month summer break, 1 month winter break). For more context I have been working at a T2 for 3 years (already taken 1 sabbatical) and have come to realize I need one every year. Willing to take pay haircut, but no less than ~~$150k McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group L.E.K. Consulting Kearney Strategy& Alvarez & Marsal

You can do “Take Time” which is 20-40 unpaid leave days per year, on top of your 20+ PTO days. Anyone can do this, BA/ASC/EMs. When you are an AP/P/SP it doesn’t really make sense to take it though cuz their charge code system is different. You need to apply for this program every 6 months and get approval from PD and DGL (depends on you being in good rating)

M2 the 10-20 days you mentioned are per half year, not per full year


——
You could also just take an unpaid leave at any time. But need to have a good reason to be approved. It also will decrease your utilization so might affect ratings.

LEK does. You can enter into a rolling sabbatical agreement where you take a set amount of time off. Usually 3 months on 1 month off. I believe minimum tenure of 24 months but I could be mistaken

Are companies looking to hire more minorities and people who identify as LGBTQ+? I saw a post about a job listing for a Big 4 and it said it had a strong preference for people who identify as LGBTQ+ or a minority racial group. Does this mean they have a higher chance of getting the job? Not trying to start any political debates, I’m just generally curious.
