As someone under 30 without kids I will gladly give parents a pass during these times, because I can only imagine how they are all completely mentally and emotionally worn down and depressed and crying with their spouses just to get through this and having to put on a front for their kids during all this.

BUT...frankly these past 6 months should be a a genuine wakeup call for a lot of parents, young and new or old and experienced, that as a whole this industry gives zero fucks about your family, kids, or your emotional/mental health as a result.

Seriously, start looking at client-side or pharma, or jobs in related industries. It’s an actual bummer and totally fucked that there are broken marriages and strained relationships with people’s kids because they are addicted to being a workaholic who helps make shitty TV commercials, or even classic Super Bowl commercials.

For those at Accenture Strategy London, I’m supposed to be joining as a Strat Analyst. Is it worth joining? I’m seeing a lot of negative press on FB but I’m assuming it’s mostly in the US. I would say I’m quite surprised they are paying Management Consulting salaries at Analyst level though. However I’m more interested in the work and L&D. Is the work “strategic” or is it more ops consulting/implementation? Which teams/industries do more “real” strategy focused projects than others?

I have ten years lab experience.
