Hi fishes,
I interviewed with Siemens Energy for SAP ABAP position on 21st Jan. The interview went on for about an hour and in the end, the interviewer asked my expected ctc and wanted assurance if I won't negotiate on Siemens offer with some other company as i am currently serving notice period and join Siemens if provided an offer.
Till now , the HR team has not reached out to me for salary discussions and my LWD is 7th Feb. Can i expect a call or i got rejected ?Siemens

I know exactly what you mean. I left for industry last year, didn’t like the environment and went to another company as a financial analyst. Don’t like that either. Now I realize all jobs pretty much suck, I want back in at a big 4 but not in an audit or tax. Look for internal roles at EY or wherever it is you’re working. Get benefits of working there but not the workload.
Are you me? This busy season has been the final straw for me I think, but I’m so worried the next place I go will be just as bad or worse hours wise.
It will depend on the company and the type of roles. I went into industry for FP&A and the hours are decent for the most part (budget/forecasting cycles are always busier). People that work in SEC reporting group at my company are sooo much busier and they pull all nighters all the time…
Same boat but figured with industry there isnt nearly as much deadlines
The entire career is high key cooked.
Been in every vertical of finance (treasury/FP&A/controls) and it’s just different shades of brown. All we can do is guide the younger generation to CS or something better.
Yep. I work in Industry as a manager, it’s just as busy but spread out over time.
You have insane deadlines and working hours in close and quarter close months. Year end audit, etc. But on the weeks before close it’s very chill.
Basically instead of 3 months crazy busy you’re super busy 1-2 weeks each month for the whole year.
OP - exactly why I went to mid-size (grass was not greener on the other side). Working with private clients only is a lot less stressful. I'm past the point of learning a new industry/how to do EBPs so my new firm is not asking me to do non-profits/EBPs in the summer. I have accumulated a lot of technical knowledge/soft skills at Big 4 and can now reap the benefits in mid-size. The firm I went to is growing and I can actually see a business case down the road for non-equity partner at least. That was not the case in my Big 4 office. Director level jobs in industry that were available when I was looking required 50-60 hr weeks for 2-3 weeks every month. All firms are bleeding seniors now. Maybe see if your firm would be willing to make your schedule better. If not, there might be firms similar size to yours that will gladly take you. You can discuss scheduling during the interview process and make sure you sign up for something a bit better.
