Did anyone leave PA and go to industry but end up working longer hours? If so, what type of industry position and was the hour expectation communicated to you during the recruiting process?

Yes. Went into financial analyst position. Hours during monthly close were miserable and the job was just miserable. This was not communicated to me. I left before a year.

In my experience, executives at corporations are the same as partners at accounting firms. They don’t realize how much time/effort is required to do things. You’ll always work more than they tell you in the interview

Thanks so much for sharing! Hope I don’t come across situations like that. Would hate to work unexpected long hours throughout the year if it wasn’t communicated in the recruiting process

I love when salaried people talk about overtime haha!

Anyways... I’ve worked in both. If the industry job is a public filer, don’t expect to see an hours decrease. Every quarter is a race for the SEC finish line and month-end closings can be very complex and drawn out depending on the size of the organization. Private companies are typically shorter hours than what you’re probably used to in public accounting.

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
