If you choose wisely, you will have a 40 hour week in industry, and the pace is substantially slower. It's not total fucking chaos and stress like public accounting. You're actually allowed to have an unproductive day without feeling like you're falling behind. Because of this, I find people are generally happier in industry. The fact that they usually make more money than us probably further contributes to that happiness.

I would assume PA has a lot more Shenanigans going on since we get so many younger staff straight out of college.

I work in industry now at a big bank. I'm very busy during the day and challenged but I leave at 6pm and don't feel bad. I feel like people screw around less so we're all more efficient. It all depends on company and team though so no different than public

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.
