Looking for some advice! I recently reached out to PwC private division because where I work now is boring and not flexible. I miss feel like an accounting professional. I previously worked at a medium sized public accounting firm but looking to add that big name recognition. How is the work life balance now working from home at PwC in the private division? Any insight on what I may be getting myself into. I want more family time and time to travel with my family.

I have 7 years experience. I told them I would be fine with senior if I could be evaluated and promoted within a year. But I would feel comfortable as Manager. I left my last firm equivalent to their manager position.

Can’t speak towards private, but I’m coming in as A3 to public audit and was given the remote option (in office 0-3 times per month). I’ve seen a lot discussion that this is being evaluated one fiscal year at a time, for PwC this is July-June

Coming from a private company that did not embrace any remote flexibility

That’s true! I feel like it may be easier to get a job when people see PwC rather than where I am now. Doesn’t hurt to see how a year goes and if it’s not what they promised or what I want out of it, get another job.

Depends on which office you’re at. I’m in a short-staffed office where we keep adding clients for some reason. Managers and above get WLB, seniors and associates don’t. I can’t wait to leave

That’s so stupid. I feel like places like that can’t pick and choose who works remote if it’s company policy. I guess I don’t know the actual policy… well thank you for letting me know your opinion and wish you best! From my experience the private life is a little better with work life balance. That’s not always the case unfortunately. But there is less flexibility and sometimes the work is so boring. I def miss the work I did in public accounting. I’m also working for a smaller company that is so far behind in technology. Def look for a bigger private company if you leave!
