Is working on weekends expected? Or is it just a once-in-a-while deal, depending on if it's crunch time

Crunch or as a favor to a client. I’m meeting clients at Luby’s on Saturday because they are afraid of traffic during week. If you have to work on weekends you are not allocating your time wisely. I work 4 days out of week at home office, no interruptions from branch manager that likes to hear himself talk. Friday’s I know while I’m at office I don’t get anything done.

I do sporadic weekend appointments, but only 1on a weekend and I set them up around family events. I do paperwork and research on Saturdays and sundays during crunch time.

Does anyone here work for any public accounting firms in the Charlotte area with a decent work life balance? I am looking to go somewhere where I can focus on a few clients for longer periods of time rather than constantly bouncing around. I find it much less stressful to put in longer hours if it's a client that I have been scheduled on long term.

Hi Fishes,
I am an Senior iOS developer. YOE is 8.5. Currently getting 13 LPA. Getting promotion in a month with 25 to 30 percent hike which comes nearly 16.8 LPA. I cannot able to relocate now due to family dependency reasons. I heard iOS developer salary market is good. I am having a very good work life balance in the current company. I am in a confusion.

CFP study programs:

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
