Of course. May take a bit more preparation but if you stay disciplined you can maintain your life style. May even rub off on the rest of the team.

I was very health conscious when I entered the audit profession. I'm now about 40lbs over weight. Long story short you become health unconscious....

When I was in Audit, I’d take along lunch to go to the gym. My work never suffered. The partner told me that successful professionals exercise before work, not during work. I told her I was happy that worked for them. Now I’m in Tax, and after an hour of work, I’m about to go run 4 miles. Come to Tax, it’s staffed with humans.

They can stay in the audit profession absolutely. If you mean can they stay in public accounting, probably not.

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

Is it possible to do this with two sets of drop downs (days of week + time slots) and not use index match here? She could make 5 tables for each day of the week, but prefers one table that can be easily navigated by doctors.
