Is it true that other offices in PA outside of NYC have better work life balance, culture, etc.? I feel in NYC we are worked to the ground, but when I speak with colleagues from the west coast and other offices they seem to be enjoying life a lot more.

I have no idea what it is like to work in NYC. But when we have to call clients or other accountants in NYC, y’all sound mad as if you're overworked or hungry.

It’s very office specific.

Yes... smaller offices. More steady work all year. I’ve worked maybe 3 weeks over 60 hours

I think nyc in general (not PA specific) has a culture that glorifies working like crazy so it’s ingrained in expectations from everyone including clients and co-advisors. I’m in the LA office and certainly don’t work as much as my nyc counterparts in the same group. But I get paid less so at the end of the day you’re compensated for it 🤷🏻‍♀️

How is that possible? Are you a part-time employee?

It really varies by office/team/engagement. Some teams in smaller offices are constantly swamped because their offices/markets don’t have enough resources.

B: SaaS Startup | $100k + $15k bonus. Equity with an IPO looming.
Team is much more robust. Lots of ex-agency folks.
