Big surprise: Dramatically better!
I moved to Data Consulting and hours dropped from about 65/70 per week to 45/50.
Of course, if I had gone away from consulting altogether, my hours likely would have dropped lower to 40.
Also, stress: Much much less!

Hey there,
Went from McK to a fintech scale-up in Austria.
Hours went from 65 to 45 per week and no travel (due to COVID). Stress-levels were similar though...
Cheers,
Florian

Statistically, when you move from consulting to any other sphere, your hours drastically decrease. It’s quite a good exit opportunity, with much less stress and more opportunities to improve your work-life balance.
