Not true, S& has the best wlb. They work 3 hours a week

Advice needed: looking to leave public accounting and tax for good. I have two offers between a financial analyst and an accountant role. Based on your experience, which of the two has the best/better exit opportunities (should I decide to pursue the finance realm or something else) and better work life balance? The bigger pay as an analyst is tempting, but the company benefits are meh.

I'm also not very good with dealing with politics in the office or too much socializing. I liked hedge funds but afraid it'll be very busy as well and lots of politics. Thx in advance for replies!
