I don't work in consulting but can definitely imagine it as an intense, fast-moving environment. as uploader mentioned, consulting people are always kept at the edge of their comfort zone; akin to those nearing the bottom of maslow's hierarchy of needs, consulting folks may not have that luxury of tranquility, of projecting their normal state, of conducting one self with grace. that said, given the fame and fortune involved, this trade would definitely attract people who prioritize advancement over lasting, cordial working relationships.
It depends on your office and the time you were there. If you can share some insights on your specific situation, we'd be glad to hear that. Like we said, most people leave voluntarily. But if you are behind the curve, the writing is already on the wall. Then the person usually jumps ship before they are forced out. And if someone is really forced out, it's not like they broadcast it to the entire office, that happens rather quietly.
This is a wildly, optimistic and positive representation of what's actually happening
This is our long-term MBB perspective. But yes, currently it's definitely way rougher than usual. We'd be curious to hear more about your perspective!

@jimbojimbo6873 per hour its less than a standard company wage doing a similar role. Its just you work 70-100 hours
amazing production quality
You know the industry!
I worked at BCG and never once saw someone forced out. People just gravitated to other opportunities.....sometimes with clients.
