Heard that deals working hours can be unpredictable. For those who are managers in deals, how do you balance out vacation, dinner and weekend plans? Any tips/advices will be helpful!

It's not easy and I have smaller kids. I try to let my SO know when things are coming up and when closing is approaching. My SO now knows the hours could be rough. I hear about it, but my SO knows. This took a while for my SO to understand. When it is done, we go celebrate and I do more kid stuff from lost time during the deal. I will put in hours and work hard but not at the expense of my family.

I’m a senior but my director is on vacation now and she basically set me up to be able to run with my deal alone so she could disconnect. It’s a good opportunity for me and she gets the time off, so everyone wins!

How bad is the staffing shortage at firms right now? At current firm (mid-tier) seeing good people held back from being promoted due to not enough preparers. Other good people are constantly being overworked and slackers aren’t getting called out since leadership is afraid of losing a body. Is this true for other bigger firms (Big4, GT, BDO, Baker Tilly, Moss Adams) too right now? If so, how are you avoiding being overworked?

Wanted some clarification about TCS salary structure Job level offered is C3B

1) Monthly performance pay is 9.25 percent of CTC. Recruiter is saying this is fixed salary. Is this component always fixed or there are scenarios when company can deduct this? Even if one is on bench, is this fixed?

2) Performance Bonus / Quarterly variable is 12.7 percent of CTC. Is this too high or standard for all people at C3B level?

3) Together both make variable 22% of CTC. Is it normal or too high?

Interesting Data. Seems like lower income Republicans are divided about opening up while Dems in general worry about opening too soon. Middle to High income Republicans want economy opened. so yeah, even the people that have lost the most jobs (lower income bracket) are more divided about opening up
