Yeah. As a clarification, WLB is not “nonexistent” here. The exits and salary are as advertised though. There are pockets of bad projects just like any firm but most people I know do 55-60 hours a week and do just fine in their personal lives. Weekend protection is pretty robust too. Sure, it’s more work than some other firms, but it’s well worth it for the extra benefits that you mentioned.

Yes, Z1. It is team dependent, and I got fortunate with good WLB. But I understand why Amazon has the rep. Because many teams work 60+. And 60 is bad lmao
Currently at Deloitte GPS. Mid 100s salary but work like 15 hours a week. Per hour make more than at MBB equivalent level, but honestly would still take the gig just because of the potential to level up your career. The one exception would be if you plan to exit to tech, where Deloitte has great training and hands on opportunities to get you ready for Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, etc.
Sure. Message me, happy to chat.

100% would kill myself before going back to consulting, regardless of firm. That said if I worked in consulting MBB would be my top choice for obvious reasons. I would probably take either B over M, though.

Yeah in fairness I’m pretty sure all the media hit pieces against Mickey are paid for by Jay Alix

Not a chance
Hell no
No. I'm reaching a stage in my life (32, enjoying marriage, starting to plan for kids) where the added intensity and an extra 15-30 hours a week would jeopardize things I now care more about and not significantly increase my near term earnings from my current ~200k TC. In the longer term, I'm looking to tech for my growth opportunities, because consulting is too grindy to maintain a healthy family life.
Lol 10000% yes
No. My time/relationships are worth more than a slightly fancier car.
Worth it. It is not a commitment for your entire life. Most people do short stints.
McKinsey takes a lot but it also gives a lot.
Hell nah - currently at a T2. Feel like the opportunities and learning 80% matches what McK would give me. The extra effort coming with a new start would not be worth the extra 20%.
I don’t think the exit opps are drastically different based on firm. The prestige is undeniable but once you start getting interviews for other opportunities the playing field is level
^what size firm? LMM?
No but I’m also at a point in my life where I’m starting to value things besides just working hard and getting paid
Yes
I'm from Southern Ohio, so I could check boxes as a pill mill diversity hire! 😂
I think it depends on stage of life and career ambitions. If you’re young/few years out of college and want to make a lot (and work a lot), especially down the line in your career, then it should be a no brainer. There’s also no downside. You can go back to Deloitte/B4 at any time if it’s not for you. If you’re older/have a family and are comfortable with your earnings and trajectory I think it makes no sense to go climb for more
Yes, worth it
No. The answer is no
I've had excellent exit opportunity since I left Deloitte. I think it's how you phrase it in the exit.

I have no life now, might as well trade it in for a better brand
Where you at?
