Any place where I can do AAS with a normal WLB? I love the work I do at PwC but naturally it’s a grind with long hours and the goalposts for promotion are ever moving and increasing. I’d like to transitions to somewhere with similar work but better scheduling to focus on my family and hobbies.

Come to EY faas. I just got early promoted to manager

TAAG has pretty great wlb from what I can tell. Also controls work, ESG, and ERP implementations, finance optimization all seem to have the better wlb. transaction work seems to be high pressure anywhere you go because of the harsh deadlines, but at the same time produces great work experience depending on your goals. Pros and cons, as always. Overall, FAAS has great opportunities to boost your resume, but I would temper the wlb expectations a bit.

like

Smaller firm that pays overtime, like CFGI. Anyone that pays overtime will limit how often you’re eligible to earn it which will give you better WLB.

I think we’ve been pretty consistent with promotion requirements tbh

Won’t they just eat hours though. That’s the common counter issue. I hope people at those firms never eat hours, but I just don’t believe it

BDO ARAS is has great wlb but I’m guessing it’s a step down pay wise

I’d be fine with a step down, as long as it’s reasonable. Would appreciate a referral if that’s an option. Happy to chat more about my experience as well.

FAAS is chill unless you are ambitious and get involved in million pursuits. I lay low and rarely work over 40. I am FO tho, deals might be a different culture

Deals is most definitely a different culture

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
