Yeah, I remember flying out while sipping champagne in business class on the world's longest flight round trip from NYC to Singapore on a Singapore airlines A350 for a week long meeting with the client, where I stayed in a beautiful hotel with infinity pool.
However, I also remember I had to fly out on Sunday morning, in order to make the start of a three day workshop by 7 am local Singapore time Tues. I also remember working for several hours that Sunday, on the flight, to get add'l content done that my manager requested on Saturday. I also remember being 12 hours jet lagged, yet running a 12 hour work shop each day with client dinners each night and team "debriefs" after that, with only 3 hours of sleep since it takes time for the body to adjust. So, yes, I had a few Michelin star dinners while I was in Singapore, I also got to fly business on one of the world's best airlines, and I got to stay in a nice hotel that supposedly had a nice pool I had no time to use, and I drank champagne while miserably staring at the laptop screen on a flight. What I didn't experience was a proper weekend, rest, and a motivation to do it all again (though I did, over and over, in my 4 years at another MBB). Worth it? Not at all.
Ouch, thanks for sharing your experience. MBB & consulting seems to be just so "prestigious" & a big got to for MBA grads. Your relevation is very eye opening. What was your exit from MBB?
Thanks Angie! I'm really looking forward to your next video!
thanks for the support!
