Significant responsibility but long hours and unpredictable time off

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a Senior Associate, you are given significant responsibility early on. You transition from just crunching numbers to truly owning your own modules and driving the strategic narrative for major clients.

Cons

Despite firm-wide initiatives to improve predictable time off, the reality on the ground highly depends on your case and your MDP. 80+ hour weeks are still common, making weekday personal plans nearly impossible to keep.
