For those who exited from Audit,
How would you compare your work hours compared to the Audit? Please provide your current role as well! I saw that in deals, the hours are much more random and schedules are much more tighter!

I am also curious if it's temporary workload considering the amounts of deals post-COVID.

Exited to FDD. Unpredictability is significantly higher. Total hours worked is quite a bit lower (100+ % utiliz vs 80). Used to spend probably 15ish weekends including sunday a year in the office, in 3 years in fdd i could count on one hand the days i worked over 2-3 hours on a weekend (haven't been to the office on a weekend one time)

What office if you don’t mind me asking?

Exited from audit to forensics. Over the course of a year I probably work about 30% less in total hours. However, the schedule is extremely sporadic - it’s not like I’m working 30% less consistently on a week to week basis. It’s more like random weeks with very little to do and random weeks where you’re working 60-80 hours. From what I can gather the same is true with most consulting/advisory roles

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.

Hi y’all,
I am resigning from my position. I don’t have a job secured yet, but I have a couple interviews lined up. I’m wondering if I should tell my admin tomorrow (before going on break) or wait until I have a job secured.
FYI: I found one document saying I need to give a 30 day notice and the employee handbook says 2 weeks to be in “good standing”.
Any advice would be helpful.

DM me for a referral to EY or EYP if you have over 1 year of professional experience. Great pay, most positions are location-flexible, and they are hiring like crazy.
