Can I expect to work less in industry? Really looking for a 40 hour week. Does such a thing exist?

They exist but you'll get paid accordingly.

I work maybe 35hrs/week and make 90k in low CoL (Texas). It's boring work but I leave work at work and never give it a second thought on the weekends. I work from home every Friday and nobody tracks my time (including PTO). Idk if this is what I want to do for the rest of my life, but it's definitely what I need right now. I work out 4-5 times a week and have 2 international trips booked already. I actually get to live the life outside the office I dreamed of.

I leave between 5-6 each day. Get in at 9. It's not technically 40 hours a week (closer to 45-50), but the difference from PwC is ENORMOUS. I've lost weight, I sleep better, I don't dread going into work...I'm not clearing $100k, but my pay per hour increased quite a bit over Pdubs

I would even take a 9 to 9 in industry as long as I don't have to work weekends.

With the right resume... 100k and less stressful 45-55 hr/weeks seem reasonable
