WLB isn’t a thing here, unless you’re looking to get PIPped. Too much work, never enough bodies to do it within the insane timelines set by management. Not much else to say. Either do it or look for work elsewhere.

It’s not the new norm… it’s always been the norm… it’s very common for financial professionals to work 70-80+ hours a week… I don’t know where you are in your career life cycle… but yes, typically when you are in these roles it’s a lot of work for relatively substantial pay…
If comp is the problem, that’s a different story…
If you want a regular 9-5… I’m sure you’ll do well in the public sector…
Was that always the norm in what I assume is fp&a in tech? I think generally across the board in most industries lots of us are working longer hours particularly in finance or accounting jobs.
I was a Sr Financial Analyst for 22 years. I was a single mom with two young kids and the work has always been demanding with extra hours expected. I was with good companies and outright horrible ones, working 12 hrs a day with 2 young kids to raise. I got out of the profession at age 52 and now 2 years later, looking for a life changes. I only stayed with this line of work because the pay was decent, but it is not worth your sanity. It took a huge toll on me, and now at age 54 I am studying to become an English speaker through TEFL. I would say that if you are young enough and can make a change, then do it! I think I waited too long but that’s OK, I will get by. Good luck to you!!!
