Lol. I heard busy season at KPMG is more chill.

I heard the opposite way. LoL. I guess depends on the engagement, and one person couldn’t represent all.

I have always loved busy season. I feel like it is the time that I learn and grow the most. It is like the playoffs in professional sports. Your performance during this period determines your future.

This basically sums up my feels. Don’t want to stay in public past manager for reasons, but damn, I’ll miss it when I quit.

I do multiple things so I move from busy season to busy season, so no. Usually bearable with office happy hours and other events with my friends at work which are all off the table. This year completely sucks and I’m not feeling what you’re feeling.

I like busy season because there are actual deadlines. These fake internal only deadlines to sign off on like planning documents just give me zero motivation
