[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ALthough their maternity leave is pretty awesome.

[b]Does anyone know what the work life balance is for new parents?

If it's anything like Big4 as a PP suggested, and you are in a client-facing role, it is abysmal. Senior Consultant is also a level where you are REALLY expected to bust your ass if you want a promotion, that's where it starts getting super competitive. And like PP said, you better be spending your time not working (after working your 12+ hour days) cranking out that BD work. I've worked in a Big4 managing hundreds over the years and I have only known ONE female senior who had a kid, and she had a sweetheart deal due to being a family friend of one of the big partners. The maternity leave is awesome but the travel, long hours, 24/7 nature of the job make it incompatible with parenthood, particularly as a new hire in a low level position with little leverage. If you take the job, use the maternity leave but be prepared to walk after. Internal roles are much better, but pay less and are not really the "sexy" side of the business. [/quote]
