Have never heard good things about wlb. In fact If you value it you generally get told to stay away

Depends on your level. As a senior working on one deal at a time I found my WLB is far better than audit. Sure some weeks get busy and i don’t really get any warning but I rarely work on weekends and it’s usually only crazy 1-2 weeks of the deal cycle
it's typically okay at senior level and below and then terrible until you're experienced partner
yes, thus I'm at RSM and no longer big 4
Very deal dependant. Only been in FDD for a year, but when deals are hot, you might be running hard. Since I've joined though I think I've been over 50 hours once, and that was just because we as a team decided to get a report out before 4th of July break rather than push it till after (client didn't really care). You'll be subject to overall deal flow to dictate how many deals are happening, but some client's set brutal deadlines- just a function of deal process. The conventional answer is if you want advisory, go to like a Faas for more wlb, but my experience has been very good so ymmv I guess
All depends on the project. More advisory going around these days and if your on the wrong one it’s miserable and be prepared for 70 hour weeks for months…but maybe Im just unlucky -_-
It’s p rough at times worst thing about it is not knowing when it’s gonna be super busy. Could get put on a fast moving deal and do 70-100 hours for 2 weeks then be sitting around waiting for the next one for a week or two
Shitty.
