I’m going to be M1 in audit this October. I’m thinking about my future opportunities but really just want to find a well paid 9-5 type of job.. do those even exist ? If so, what are some of the options?

I left for industry and make $175k plus 20% bonus. I work 9-5 most weeks except for the month of Jan for YE and the first week of every month for close. However even those weeks are like 50hrs. I’m learning a ton because I’m in a new industry and there is room for advancement. I’ve never been happier with my career.

In my opinion there is no such thing as a 9-5 job. It is not the reality of the global business economy that we exist in today.

Yes they exist, if you set boundaries. I came from Industry and honestly I can tell you there are busy times such as YE or month-end. But generally, you will work 40 hours a week if not less. Take your time to find the right company and set boundaries on day 1!

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries.

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.
