Anyone from Boston Consulting Group Boston Consulting Group (BCG) working in non-consulting - Technology/Engineering/Global Services?
How's the work life balance? Glassdoor reviews are full of "long working hours" and hence wanted to know if it's the same with non-consulting folks as well?
How far is it true across the organisation?
Please help me shed some light to decide.
Thanks.

Points Guy values United points at 1.5c/pt or ~$325 for 25k miles. So unless you can figure out a way to gain $75+ worth of intrinsic value from this trip, it’s not worth it.
Their values are inflated too.
Only if it would put me over the line for 1k

Not worth it unless you are short of miles. 25k only worth $250-$375.
If it also comes with a higher status then I would. But not just anywhere, I’d try to find something like a weekend trip to see a family/friend or a getaway to a place I like to visit (and can stay with friends/family) like Arizona, FL or NYC.
Not only that, it would be different if you are just buying miles(even so, way over priced). In this case you have to waste a whole day twiddling your thumbs on a plane/in the airport.
Also other expenses (getting to and from airport), lunch, snacks etc
Probably yes for the intrinsic fun
