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.

Hi - Can anyone share some light on the EY-Parthenon GDS service line? Is it similar to overall EY GDS or are there any EYP related differences? I heard they support the EYP case teams and work-life balance is a challenge.
Any EYP professionals here please weigh in with your thoughts.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
