Hey! Just started working in B4 audit in NYC as an associate. I’m very excited. It looks like I will be working overtime until late April, do I need to get special permission to work overtime? I worked at a place in college (convenience store) and we needed permission because they wanted to approve our overtime pay.

No worries . You don't need permission . You will be working tones of overtime hours with no pay. Welcome to corporate America. Hopefully , they won't have you "fresh meat" working until 2am in the morning like I used to when I work in B4. I will pray for you.

You don’t get paid more for 40+ hours. It is expected that you work as much as they tell you. Get paid the same regardless because you’re salary
