You will work on average 60+ hours each week. Your nights, weekends, and holidays are not off limits - you should anticipate that you’ll work a few hours during the weekend and call it a blessing when you don’t. With everything said above, I’d leave audit again in a heartbeat.

Long story short I put in my 2 weeks at BDO and the partner called me and match PwC’s offer within a week. Opted to stay at BDO. Same 48% increase, less hours and no more audit. Yeah maybe the exit ops are better at big4 but I value work life balance too much. Not one person in BDO TAS I spoke with has worked over 55/60 hours in a week. And weekends are rare.

Guessing you’re in audit. Just take the offer, 65/week is not bad and you will likely be working closer to 55/week on average

I am, it’s a 51%salary increase from my current audit job. I don’t mind doing 65 week but working 75+ through the weekend sucks, haha. Rather just fit it all in M-F

$129.5k and 7.5 sign on (S3)

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding?

What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.
