Hi All,
I’ve heard that stress in PE /GE is substantially more than CDDs in consulting. So I would like to better understand from all the consultants that went into PE, where does the stress come from and why is it so much harder?
Context behind the question is I already work 9 am-2/3 am ; M-Th and till 7/8 pm on Fridays - every week doing CDDs so how much worse can it be is what I’m trying to gauge.
