Team and project dependent. Amazon expects a lot, and that requires effort.

That said, I’ve found the work to be more meaningful that B4 work. I’m not wasting time on a stupid slide deck that no one will end up reading, or wasteful BD efforts.

Heard it depends on your team and work you do. PMs / SWEs can work really long hours when it’s crunch time.

I don’t know whether I want to pursue Auditing or Tax. I’ve done 3 summer internships with Deloitte and am currently in a tax internship with a local boutique firm. I realized I hate doing individual returns and much rather work with financial statements. I’m not sure if this means Auditing would be a better fit for me because I enjoy analyzing and working within financials. I would honestly just pick the more financially rewarding career with better post-big 4 options. Any thoughts?
