Why are you doing that? Have you talked to manager or above? Is it limited availability in your schedule? Talk with someone, set a reasonable time to leave each day, and then do it.

Don't most private companies have very real bank deadlines? That's why my teams have been working so many hours.

This company has no bank deadlines.

Because you are in client service and the client probably doesn’t want to deal with a 6 month audit period?

Manager says this is client service and part of the job .

I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

Is it okay if I ignore his advice or will it come off as rude?
