I want to receive updates regarding this question via email.

Consulting at BCG during COVID - schedules

I have a Q those still working at a consultant firm (coaches) or those who have close relations who are currently working at an MBB-firm, in particular BCG:

What do consulting schedules look like now since COVID?

I understood that travelling on Monday to the client, back on Thursday and home office on Friday used to be the norm, what do things look like now? How did COVId change this aspect of consulting work?

I'm especially interested in offices in Western Europe, yet input from other regions is also welcome!

Hi, in most of the EU offices 80%+ of the engagements are being done remotely.

Best,

Hi there,

Consultants are currently almost 100% remote/WFH.

Of course, in Australia things are completely "back to normal". All of my colleagues are flying to and from the client site every week. In the US and Western Europe, things are still very much WFH, though, as you know, the winds are changing!

Hello!

TBH this totally depends on the region (since restrictions are mostly regional) and clients. 

My McK friends in Europe are either working form home, from the office and a couple at the client. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi Clara, OK, so it's quite mixed. I guess it depends on the situation surrounding COVID in each country.
