Hi,
As we know in accounting profession our employers expect us to reach office on time and go back 2-3 hours late due to business nature, total working hours is 9hr and expecting to work additional 2-3 hours and salary is also less. During interview they asked me about this.
What's your opinion should we compromise our personal life for this extra hours?

Nope, my time is valuable. I'm only excepting positions that are hybrid or fully virtual. I'm not wasting my hours on a commute with no extra pay.

I've generally been accepted to come in late as I progressed in my career and provided trust that the work is being done on schedule. I'm not a morning person at times and I've stayed longer more than the times I come in late, so if someone has something to say then I don't know what to say professionally.

Pros and Cons of disclosing the diagnosis to my team, partner, or firm? I’m torn.

COVID has made me realize I have no idea what I want to do with my life. My job has been increasingly frustrating, and the salary freezes/loss of benefits has made me resent what I’m doing even more.

Is it crazy for me to take some time to figure out my real goals and do something that doesn’t make me so miserable in the meantime?
