I usually work more than 40 hours (by choice) and I am salary. I just love my job and love what I get to do. However, I do have a side hustle as well to help pay the bills.

I see. I’m hourly and work about 50 hours a week. My SO is salary and works about the same amount of hours.

I do occasionally although I'm really trying hard not to...I'm salaried so it's pretty tough as it's expected for people in my role at my company

I totally get it. I’m thinking about getting a managerial position soon. Just thinking about the pros and cons.

50-60 hours (salary) and those hours are always high-stress. Things got bad during the pandemic and they just sort of stayed at that level. I have very much reached my limit and have started job hunting. Hopefully soon, I'll be doing my 40 hours and keeping those boundaries firm.

I work more than 40 hours in a week but I'm salaried so I don't get paid overtime but that's okay. I love my job and I'm happy to put in the extra hours.

Hello folks,

Need some advice on the following situation I am currently in:
I have an offer from PwC India and will likely get one from EY India also (similar ctc). At the same time, Cognizant is willing to match these offers. The only difference is I will be a consultant at Cognizant and a senior associate at PwC.
I understand wlb will be screwed at either of those big 4 and clients will be India based.
Which of these should I choose?

This is all for technology consulting as I am an MBA

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
