Does anyone ever just wish you were in IB? I feel like we work just as hard, and I’m not I to accounting as much as I thought. I can put up with the hours and the pay is just ridiculously different.

We definitely don’t work as much but I think people here are off on the margins. FDD at PwC probably averages 65 hours a week, banking is realistically more like 80-85. The difference is significant but not incomparable.

I was eating a lot of hours due to pressure from directors, and not all hours are billable, so my utilization was around 110%. The whole thing made me very bitter and cynical about a company I used to have a lot of pride in. And thanks, got my dream job and hopefully not looking back!

Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
