Work/life balance? You better off speaking Korean around here using those types of foreign words!

Work = life. No need to balance any thing.

Smaller city somewhere has the best chance.

Depends entirely on your city, service line, rank, etc. For example, in my group NYC and Chicago are known as sweatshops but many of the other cities are 9-6 Mon-Fri with working outside of that a rarity until you reach Manager.

Which group are you in?

Work-life balance avoid PA entirely

None

Can confirm smaller city is prob best bet. I’m in a smaller city and it’s not terrible outside quarters and year end. Also kinda depends on what clients you have

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

Thoughts: Managers and senior managers should intervene when project folks starts working more than 8 hours. It's sad that initially everybody talks about 8 hours work goal but employee forced or end up working more than 10 hours. Company is not asking you to work more than 8 hours, it's the pressure from peers and seniors and managers who do "a gentle request" to finish a task asap.
Also managers, Please teach new techies to hold the horses and not put there peer in pressure.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
