How many hours do you typically work per week? Does 55 to 60 hours across 5 active account seem like a lot? This is my current experience and I am feeling the burn out immensely but wondering what others are experiencing.

I now work 40 but coming up, long hours were expected. I had two breakdowns. I won’t allow myself to do that anymore. Talk to your boss but s/he may be doing the same. I do know managers are more receptive than they used to be. No one wants that kind of life.

5 accounts is excessive and so are those hours. I work an average 45-50 max. Usually aim to stay within 40-45. You are definitely going to burn out. I’d bring this up with your manager.

There should be peaks and valleys in this biz. Some weeks are 35-40, some are 55-60. If you’re consistently working 55-60 that’s a recipe for burnout. Definitely not the norm.

I was working around the same hours or more but my director never flagged even when I have mentioned it. Definitely gonna be burnt out.

I work that many hours too

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?

Hello!

I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
