Mom works in a hospital and we compare hours every year, she has beaten me 5/5 years...and she's beaten my highest year every year she's worked, for 30+. Guess I don't work so much after all...

Agreed. My point is that she was never absent and took us to do all kinds of things all the time. I think I work a lot and she puts me to shame. I don't need to work more but I need to learn how to be as present as she was and is.

^I agree. EY promotes flexibility and work life balance however you get punished for actually using it - at least on my team.

Thanks.

OP, acknowledging it is the first step.
Next, let me know how you accomplish being more present. I'm aiming for that as well.
The sad thing is that I am not bothered by the number of hours (not in B4), but the type of wprk and the atmosphere are discouraging.
Good luck

We all do EY 1, we all do. Try taking vacation in the summer when it's "downtime" I.e. fiscal year time of the year. This is also called third busy season. Work life balance / flexibility in Big 4 accounting is the ability to occasionally work from home on the weekend during busy season.

Last year was lowest year with 2,500 total hours. Highest year was 2,950. We excluded her call hours and both of our PTO hours.

Does she get paid hourly

How much more did she make than you?

Yes. And about 45k average even though our hourly rates were only off a few dollars (1-3 depending on the year)
