ZS 🐠! I received an offer for the NY office and am leaning towards taking it.

Any thoughts you can share about the culture, work life balance, etc? Ran out of time during interview to ask...

I'm over in the midwest so I cant speak to your questions about NY specifically, but just want to say congrats on the offer and potentially welcome!

Office is beautiful and has an amazing view!! Spent some time working there and loved the people, although around 90% of NY office cases are in Pharma. Most people travel locally to pharma client sites in NY and NJ.

Depending on your level, you may have anywhere from 2-4 projects at the same time. My hours are pretty good, but there’s a lot of added mental stress from having to be responsible for several different projects at once (and of course there are lots of things to keep track of within each of those as well)

helpful

I'd say I'm 60ish hours on average. To ZS3's point, having multiple projects sometimes compounds things when they all get busy at the same time. On the flip side, travel is mostly local.

Thanks for the responses!

ZS1: could you elaborate? What kind of hours are you pulling?
