Are there any forensics practices that are known to prioritize work life balance?

I love this job but I hate the hours and the fact that I’m constantly working weekends, holidays, or vacations.

Work consulting hours yet get paid like accountants...

It doesn’t exist. If you’re in this line of work, it’s best to be at a high-paying firm to at least be appropriately compensated. Accounting firms that do this don’t pay well. You need to be at a specialized boutique or small-/mid-sized expert services firm.

In 2001, I chose work-life balance over money, and I haven't looked back. Always be a '9-to-5' and I love what it's done for my mental sanity and well-being. You can get by on less money.

The government. State or federal departments have forensic groups. Otherwise any investigation group in public, private or boutiques will be subject to unpredictable schedules and overtime.

Hi
Today I received a call from the Accenture recruiter who had discussed my HR round and my profile was put on hold. She told me that at level 10 the maximum fixed salary can be 11.10 LPA and rest variable.
11.10 is fine or can they increase upto 13 LPA?
I told her to proceed my profile although I am having offers from other organisation like PWC with 14 fixed, but I beleive Accenture is better in terms of work life balance and onsite opportunity.
