Experienced hire manager at big 4 only a couple months into my new role and seriously stressed out by the long hours, nonstop pace, and constant fires. Would these issues be as prevalent in tech? How soon can I switch without it hurting my resume? Its so bad my therapist is coaching me using trauma response methods she uses for her military and EMT clients.

Just coast until you find an exit opportunity. The labor market is so tight that they won’t let you go as long as you don’t commit a crime.

Trust me. The less you care, the less you will be stressed. I suggest you look elsewhere if it is taking a mental toll on you.

Tried this and the next day was even more hellish. Basically at the mercy of last minute asks from client on top of aggressive deadlines. I do block my calendar religiously and communicate boundaries but it is the teams culture to fall on the clients sword, so senior management and the client book meetings and expect me to accommodate. I'm new to the firm too so still building rapport.

Did you make a the jump from SC->M recently?

No, I was a manager at a non big 4 firm but slightly more responsibility at new firm and much heavier workload for the workstream I'm managing.

We’re hiring. 😊
