Are all industry accounting positions exempt from requiring only 40 hour work week

So I made this bowl awhile ago and I honestly haven’t been on the app in a minute and I’m so happy to see so many people utilizing this!!! I hope you all take time for yourselves and know that you do incredible work every day that is so under-appreciated. On a side note going along with under-appreciated and underpaid: does anyone have suggestions for a side hustle? I need to make more money and I work from home full-time so time commitment isn’t an issue. Thanks I’m advance!

Putnam UK WLB? Culture?

What about legal work is currently causing your mental health struggles?

Mine’s the hours, which is not normally my issue. I billed 230 for June and July and am already at 145 for August. My ability to focus is getting worse by the day, so I’m working longer to bill the same hours and have had to pull a couple all nighters. I burst into tears this morning when a client changed plans and now wants a major project by end of month, on top of my other deadlines next week... I just want to sleep.

Those who jumped to industry how has your life balance changed?

Can someone please describe how work life balance at Mastercard?
and how will be onboarding done as far as KT is concerned, for someone with experience range of 3-5 years

Has anyone made the jump to work as a
fund accountant? Need some info (is
there a busy season, what are the hours
like, workload?) any info would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
