I am trying to settle a bet with a friend that works in Big 4. Does a higher salary automatically expect more hours worked? For me I am expected to work 40 hours and rarely work anymore at a rate of 115k. My friend is averaging 55+ at 120k. Did he just get a needy client or is that expected for higher salaries (or just because big 4 works employees more)?

115 and 120 really aren’t different salaries. If you had said your friend makes $170 and works more hours and you’re at 115 - maybe that’s something to compare. Otherwise you basically make the same salary.

Thanks!

Consulting in general is known for higher hours as compared to other career paths, though there is not necessarily a direct correlation between salary and hours worked. There are people who make both your salaries combined who don't work 40 hours in a week.

If you know someone that can make my salary without the hours work, lmk!

for consulting, it depends on the project. if the role is chill or you are in between projects, it is less than 40 a week.
