How long are projects typically at MBB?

What are the most common M/SM failure modes post-MBB? Curious as to your thoughts - for smart people with good education, but still relatively new in career and domain expertise, what have you seen as the most common failure modes post-MBB? I'm looking for my next thing, and while I can clearly see the benefits of me (Bain M/SM) over an A or an SA as an IC, I'm having a hard time seeing myself leading a team without the leadership support at MBB (APs, Ps etc.).

2-3 weeks for due diligence 6months or more for implementation Average quoted at 10-12 weeks Varies a lot
This is spot on. You'll occasionally have really long super processy projects go on for two years, but nobody below manager level would be kept on for nearly that long unless you were changing up the work you were doing and really wanted to stay.
