I'm in GRC tech in a different office. If say above is fairly accurate, but I'd peg Sept to Jan at 65-75 hours per week. Feb to August probably 35-40.

Philly Advisory

Awesome- on average, how many hours do you work weekly?

Really depends on what Advisory line - risk, MC, or the deal side?

It would be Risk

Which city? They vary

Loveeeee kpmg !

If it’s IARCS or ITAS there’s a lot of internal audit jobs & supporting the external audit team, but I’ve found if you ask around there’s always opportunity for cool consulting projects. Can’t speak for culture in Philly but the risk practice as a whole is solid and a good network. Hope this helps!

Are you on IARCS Kpmg2? If so what are your hours like?

I’m on ITAS, but our IARCS keeps relatively the same hours. If you’re on 12/31 clients, you’ll have a pretty busy fall / December (sept - Jan will be 50,55 hour weeks on average), February you’ll start tapering off and roll onto other, smaller projects and be back to around 40, 45 hours a week through the spring. Summer will kind of pick up, but you still won’t be busier than 45 hours and there will be plenty of opportunity for PTO, half days, etc.

^at least that’s been my experience. In a mid-sized city so I can’t speak to Philly but I imagine it would be similar
