Divorce will happen no matter what job you have if there are issues in your relationship. I have seen couples divorce over small petty things and have also seen partners retire with their wife of 40 years. You can blame the job if you want but typically there were other issues with the relationship.
PwC ‘s leader, Tim Ryan, is divorced. I’m sure the job had something to do with it
As is Bob Moritz.
Worked in Big-4 for many years and got divorced. My husband said he cheated because I was never around. However, he cheated because he’s a rat. If I wasn’t working 24x7, I’d have discovered that sooner. You need someone supportive if you stay with a career in public accounting. They need to understand there will be sacrifices for a bigger payday, nice house and lifestyle down the road. It should be an open discussion with your spouse.
Call me maybe
Biggest struggle I have is managing the demands of the job with the demands of having a family. The time I need to commit to work is the #1 cause for tension with my spouse. My experience has been if I over communicate with my teams and my spouse on what I need to do it works best but generally leaves everyone a little unhappy (so probably a good compromise)
A colleague of mine almost got one! They had to go to a marriage counselor
Was it caused by overworking or?
I’m very thankful that my wife started in big4 and understands the realities of working in professional services, no longer does anything accounting related and has long term financial ambition - it makes a huge difference. I haven’t seen the job cause divorces but I’ve seen many people downgrade their careers by taking 9-5 low profile jobs to make their spouse happier
Yes I’ve seen it. That’s why I’m leaving public when I have good experience. You don’t even get paid what you’re worth!!!
We separated for a while, but eventually worked it out. A big reason for it working was because I left big 4 for many years. I have been back for several years now, but have very defined boundaries of what I am willing to do/hours I will work. Life is too short to work your life away and for me, all the money in the world isn’t worth it.
I have also known many people who’s spouse or significant other basically said either work less or I’m leaving. So they left for less demanding jobs and their relationship lasted. It’s hard to be in a relationship with someone who is never around. What’s the point?
Yes
I’ve seen every job lead to divorce.
