If you're literally working 80-hour weeks, that alone is all the reason you need to find a new job. You've got options, no need to be punishing yourself.
Yeah, if youre working 80 hour weeks, it isnt getting better... find a firm with better resources. We are all short staffed as an industry, but my last first we did 60 (55 billable) hours a week, my new firm is 50 (45 billable)
Exactly! You’ve got options and it sounds like you are young.
How’s the rest of your year? If you know 80 hours a week is a short term thing for a few weeks, ok maybe… if the rest of your year is pretty good and manageable, and includes many 40 hour or less weeks and no stress about taking vacation, etc.
When I was at KPMG we only worked 55 billable hours per week during busy season. You can find that or better elsewhere.
