What is expected of Associate Consultants in terms of hours and travel?
Associate Consultants are expected to work hard – most of us wouldn’t be here if that weren’t the case. It’s important to note, though, that we work hard when it makes a difference, like when a project is in full swing and there are a million things to get done. When there’s down time – and there invariably is in a project-based job like this – then the pace is more relaxed . OC&C isn’t about face time. If you’re not busy, you’re not expected to be here to put on a show. When you are really busy, you might be here until later at night, and maybe pull a few hours over the weekend, but it rarely gets to over 60 hours a week. It’s an interval run, not a marathon.
