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!

Hello, Am confused with a few optns in my career growth. I have 2 offers in hand 1 from a tier 3 or tier 4 comp nt a start up. They're offering me a good package with so many career benifits like an onsite, opportunity, certification n good technology exposure. Another offer frm a reputed comp a tier 1 comp not an expectd package n benefits.
Few of my frnds are suggested if i choose a small company my opportunities in future will narrow down when compared to a reputed. Pls can someone help here?

Currently unemployed, and looking at a job offer of around 62k base, small firm. Not my preferred choice but this is the first offer in three months. They also took a month to get me the offer with corona and internal restructuring. Two questions:
1) The contract doesn’t mention a notice period in the probation period. What’s a good way to ask? 2) If I manage to secure another offer between contract signing and start date, would this involve any financial liabilities?
