Considering switching from B4 audit to FDD in either B4 or Houlihan Lokey. Spoke with someone at PWC who said they usually do 50-60 hour workweeks. Anyone at HL by any chance that can tel me about their work schedule and culture?

Based on other posts.. 50-60 at PWC seems rather low. Granted, could be office to office basis

Honestly if your firm isn't overly busy right now, that is a bigger red flag than if they are. The market is absolutely crazy and it makes sense why PwC (and all other big4) are so busy. There isn't anything wrong with the firm, just unreal market conditions. If HL isn't just as busy, I'd be worried when the market isn't as hot

It’s a pipe dream to work 50-60 hour weeks right now in FDD… come join and you’ll see.
