Set boundaries and be realistic with your expectations. Maybe it takes you longer or you have to do more during work hours but its not impossible.
I had the same concern. Wife still may leave but I think the work was just an excuse. I learned to provide more “opportunities” for my managers and get comfortable going home before they do. Sure, there are still times I work late, but now my teams are the ones putting in the senior hours instead of me. I paid my dues, so I shouldn’t have to keep doing that.
A recurring theme I’ve heard from new partners is that they couldn’t have done it without the support of their family. If your family isn’t on board then you either need to get them on board or realign your career goals. The firm isn’t worth a divorce imo.
@VP1 agreed
You have one life. Probably not going to regret not making partner at the cost of your marriage on your deathbed.
Are you married? If so, you’re already a Partner .
Haha cute :)
I feel like if I stay my wife will push for a divorce due to the constant workload. I’ve been pushing 60’s year round w/ 70-90 hr weeks through busy season.
You cant trade money and prestige for family and there is no such thing as being able to make up for lost time for family and relationships unless you have the time zone or quantum realm access.
Ant man does! Just find him
Short answer is... you don’t
How do I get a free mansion?
Does your father own a firm? Maybe then.
I wish...
Marry a partner. Problem solved.
Before I left PWC, they had a booklet on line from MSs and women partners on what they regretted the most. They all said not spending time with their family's. I felt if they did they wouldn't be where they are today. My partner was in the road 3-4 says a week. Decide what is important you. I don't regret leaving for less monry, but being availed for my kids.
This is very encouraging. Thank you for your insight!
If I could answer this I wouldn't have left B4.
There are people at EY that made partner on and FWA. I cannot speak to your question, but I imagine anyone can as long as they are efficient with the time they put in.
I’m about to switch out of B4 to be a tax partner at a midsize. Balance and cultural fit are priorities as I’m a mom of young kids, and financially the difference is actually negligible. One more week for me!
Felt.
Sacrifice your life and free time
Do you think your marriage has other problems? I’m surprised a spouse would divorce you for perusing your goals. I’m just honestly curious
@PwC 4 — We’ve been together for 10 years (2 of which as married). Our time relationship has been the highlight of my life. I’m very grateful and fortunate.
The past years in B4 have been such a drain mentality and physically. Hardly getting to see your spouse 100% based on works demand on hours is soul crushing. Maybe if I “lived to work” then my value system would be more in-line w/ the B4 lifestyle.
My goal is/was is to become a CPA top-tier professional. It’s fruitless and short-sighted if it doesn’t support a family and healthier lifestyle.
Impossible. Full stop.
