Me when my friends in other industries complain about their work week. This industry is not for the "work-life balance" crowd, I can tell you that.

It's honestly very strange and sad how people in accounting take pride in working a ton of hours for low pay.

CR1, you literally took the words right out of my mouth. Instead of boasting about this crap, we should be lobbying for additional resources so we don't have to work a stupid amount of hours.

Feeling a deep void in close human connection after letting go a relationship that was lacking a future (I was interested in something more, he was unsure).

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
