I’m a Senior now and managing returns plus reviewing junior work, but the hours this season have been worse than last year, not better. I thought it would get easier as you move up. At what point do you decide the next level isn’t actually better?

It will get worse at Manager until you make Senior Manager, that’s when it starts to drop off! The decision is ultimately up to you, but if you love what you do I’d stick it out.

So much depends on the boundaries you set. At any level actually.

Seniors work the most hours. Managers are the second worst. Agree that at SM level it drops off but picks up again at Director/Partner level

Hours get worse the higher up you go. And they are higher pressure hours, you have the final say in things and it’s your name on stuff that goes out the door. When I was a staff I was working 60-65 hour weeks, at SM/D those are up to 80-100

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?

How long does it take for PwC to send out rejection email? I interviewed with the team like a month ago, the recruiter called me the next day and told me that congrats, everyone likes me and told that they were working on my official offer. 3 weeks later, nothing. I followed up 3 times already and got the answer that I should expect to hear by the end of the week. My last follow up email, no response lol. Should I just move on now?

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?
