It might sound like a silly question, but how does anyone have any time to develop new hobbies after work? I’ve been trying so hard to find new things to do and look forward to but I always feel so exhausted after a long day.

Don’t go home after work. Whatever your hobby is go straight there.

I was just saying less. At the end of my workday I’m too exhausted to even make dinner. I have gained 50 pounds since starting this job five years ago because I don’t have the energy to go to the gym after how hard I’m expected to work all day. I feel like I’ve sacrificed every area of my life just to have this job.

You have, me too...

Need to have something in the schedule. Easy if it’s a league sport so you have to prioritize it once a week even if it means leaving early. Otherwise plan out the week, and make sure you leave a week day and some time on the weekend for the hobby, it’s hard to do it in the moment but always satisfying once you do!

Practise your hobbies at work. There. Problem solved.

My hobby is being a parent. I can't imagine doing more with the already limited time I have :)

I don't. All I do is jujitsu or go to the gym. Nothing else interests me. Humans are bizarre

Just curious, what kind of a schedule you have because that matters on what you might be able to do

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
