Any advice on setting boundaries for work? I've been trying to set boundaries to avoid burnout. Do you just set public working hours on your calendar?

You can try things like time blocking your calendar, setting designated lunch times, communicating when your have a hard stop, taking discussions offline (if needed), or signing off at the same time etc. Just remember when setting boundaries, you also have to maintain them to get the maximum benefit from them

Turn your phone off, don’t respond to emails after work hours, don’t attend company social events. Everyone is going to tell you this will hold you back, it might but you won’t be working 100hrs a week either.

Recently left the Big4 without a job lined up. I’m hearing all my friends talking about busy season woes and I’m so grateful to not be in that position. I keep thinking of the long hours and it’s making me not want to job hunt. I’ve been looking at industry related tax roles, and generally like accounting but am open to exploration. Is there any such role that gives good comp, great work/life balance (I don’t even wanna be near 60 hours), and overall interesting role/company?
