Professional Services, Culture

There is a conversation around the suicide of a consultant at a large global consulting firm. (Article below) I once worked at a large global professional services firm. For about 3 years. I actually lived close to work, about 5min bike ride. Occasionally I would go in on weekends just to pick up and drop off stuff I needed for projects. I noticed that there were Principals (like VPs for our American readers) who were there at really odd hours on weekends. So once I decided to go in on a Sunday at 8pm. Dude was there…There were a couple of guys who were ALWAYS there. Nothing is worth that sort of life. It's not a life. https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/news/auditors-from-big-4-financial-services-firms-lash-working-conditions-at-deloitte-pwc-and-ey/news-story/88e1c1e3f95e16d42729416d7b599092

Nothing is worth that sort of life.
