Anyone here have any experience with Government Auditing? Based on this description, the WLB alone might be worth the move. 🤔

It’s a trap. There are two busy seasons instead of one, and a third mildly busy season during the holidays.

WLB is in Government Accounting jobs, not in auditing.

Depends on what type of government auditing. Contract or Performance audits for the federal government has great WLB.

I was a government accountant before I moved to Public Accounting. There were busier times but they were Never as busy as a PA busy season and never the duration of a PA busy season.

I worked for a city, state, and the federal government. The drawbacks of government are: tons of red tape, bureaucracy/ strict hierarchy, super slow promotions and tiny raises.

I worked a solid 40 most weeks and had really good job security.

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
