Anyone with experience working for a utilities company? Anything I should be aware about? I'm being told by recruiter 9 to 5, 90k, 10% annual bonus and great benefits. What's the downside...

My wife left PwC as a manger to work for a public utility (power company). Hours were worse then public accounting think 80-90 weeks in January and early February and 55-60 hours a week for most of the rest of the year. She stuck it out for 2.5 years but decided to move on.

Gotcha, thanks for that info

Just out of curiosity why do utility companies have such awful hours? This is internal accounting jobs within the company?

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.

I've been working as a senior writer at

months. Got a management
opportunity, along with an 18K pay
bump. When I gave notice, my
company matched the salary and
offered me a title change. I then went
back and thanked the new company
for their time as I felt obligated to give
my current company a chance since
they vouched for me. Now, the
new place is offering me an additional
10K after I already told my current
employer I'd stay. Thoughts?
