Does anyone work for the government (dept of revenue, dept of taxation)? Do you enjoy it? I hear work/life balance in government jobs is actually true and not just a fairy tale Big4 tell.

I worked in government, previously. WLB is true, did 8-5:30 every day, never checked email after hours.

Ryan has the worst WLB and management (speaking generally, exceptions do apply) so even going to a B4 for you would be an improvement.

I guess it depends on what team you’re on. I’ve found the work to be more intense at my smaller firm, but the clients and issues are a lot harder to deal with. Then again, all of the management are former Ryan meat grinders, so, they seem to have brought along their penchant for micromanagement.

How does anyone keep time well for prayer and meditation while fully giving yourself to family and work in this economy?

One can imagine work here as meant in the maximum of work vs life here.

I know people who are constantly crashing and that’s without the set time for prayer. And despite hearts or gold, obvious piety and a high work ethic.

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off. Momentum and pessimism over lack of stimulus could take us to the 3107 target quickly, nearly a 10 percent decline over the next month. Stay short my friends. It's going to get bumpy.
