It seems like I am putting in 60-hour work weeks. Don't get me wrong, I love my job but I am feeling stretched thin. How many hours is everyone else working per week?

35-45 hours per week. It took years of experience (and some stretching of long work weeks) to understand the importance of efficiency in the workplace (assuming the right people are in place). Often times, systems/processes are left in place for long periods of time, and nobody questions “is this the best way to get the job/task completed?” The excuse is usually “this is how things were since I started.”
The other item to look at is how much time are you spending with your team on development?

Definitely not 60 hours a week! That's crazy! Is this the expectation or are you just taking extra work upon yourself? If you feel like that's the expectation I would definitely have a conversation with your boss about finding a better work/life balance.

Where do I steer my career? I’m an introvert and someone who suffers from PTSD from my time on active duty. I honestly have no real desire to really go to an office and spend half my day pretending to be social and develop “relationships”. I honestly just want to bury myself in the work. Im not interested in happy hours or office golf functions and pizza parties. What is my best bet to staying in tax but also just doing my work and not having to participate in all this extra stuff?

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.

Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.
