I left Big 4 for industry for better work life balance. Our service provider is also a Big 4- I’m tired of the arrogance of a team who is always wrong. Getting treated like we work for them and having to send guidance to prove that they are wrong. And then getting a BS, oh we “assumed [insert some random circumstance that they had no reason to assume] instead of just admitting fault. At some point, wouldn’t you start listening, you “expert” you? This is the big 4 arrogance that clients dislike.

I feel burnt out by how ruthless the tech industry in US is, but I also know I’m making much more money than people outside of tech or consulting.

How do you adjust your WLB?
I’m so burnt out that I wish I could yell at people who were not kind or supportive to me, but those people often unfortunately were in position of power.
I don’t like unkindness, but my anger is just very bottled up…
What can I do to stay level-headed even when the other side is disrespectful?

Does anyone else have issues knowing when to stop working or managing their work-life balance? I get emails and requests at all hours and I always respond but I'm wondering if it is time to set up some boundaries and start ignoring requests after a certain point at night and on the weekends?

How is CGI in terms of WLB and Job Security?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?

Ey gds vs Deliotte usi which is better in term of work life balance and pay scale

Any tips on assessing if the hiring manager will be a good manager and person to work with?

I’d be hoping to learn a lot from them, as they would be pretty much be all of my day-to-day interactions and team. I’ve received an offer but have asked for another convo as I’m still unsure on culture, WLB and training etc as it’s a new team so no other people in comparable roles to talk to.

Hi fishes. Currently interviewing with Accenture for the Talent & Organization (T&O) team for the change management profile. Wanted a quick comparison of the work life balance, career progression, perks and benefits compared to EY GDS. Thanks in advance.

I work in deals and am frankly frustrated that those with 9-5s can get better GMAT scores with their schedules while I have to work around an unpredictable schedule at 80 hrs/week.

Which of the FAANG companies have a better Work life balance and culture? Unhappy SM here who needs to switch cuz of the toxic work culture at D!

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

I think that there is a lot of talk about where Amazon will put their second HQ, I think that whichever state and city give them the best incentive package will suddenly be where the best talent is...

Hi, I’m currently looking for a job as I was laid off during COVID. If anyone is hiring, please let me know!

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle
