So when you put in a 13 hour Saturday and it's not enough. I know this is how it always goes but it never gets any easier.

Lol, I meant try putting in less hours, maybe get a 2 or a 3 for the sake the saving your marriage. In the grand scheme of things we call life, I'd say your marriage is more important than a rating system developed by bunch of people you don't know.

Maybe start putting in less hours? And see if your rating is any different and go from there

That's where the problem is: no matter how much you put in, is not enough. So... i learned to start at the other extreme: how little can I put in and still keep my kob?!
Oh well... let's say I've enjoyed quite a few weekends with my family during busy season.

My rating is just fine (sorry I'm a PwC tier 1) just keep wondering this year if doing this is still worth it. It's gonna be my marriage or the job pretty soon and it's not a choice I want to make.

The money isn’t much different between tiers. A couple grand after tax isn’t worth a 13 hour Saturday. Eff that noise.

That’s the spirit, Tax Senior. I have one large public F500 and some smaller clients, and this past busy season I worked one Sunday and my kids still know who I am. Maybe it’s not that Manager is easier, but you have to give less of a crap about the “oh I worked so many hours” circle jerk. It’s all about productivity

What constitutes “not enough”? Is your engagement behind? If shit is getting done and your team isn’t behind then don’t work a 13 hr Saturday

Oh I know that but the money is a plus too. Just like anything else it's finding balance.

Yeah, it’s pretty depressing to waste over a fourth of your year, working until May Friday, Saturday, Sunday to be rated a 3

It’s better once you get to Manager. Can’t imagine being married as a Senior or a Staff. It’s bad enough on a marriage at my level, and I have a ton of flexibility

Lol. Just lol. My good friend got hit with the ultimatum by his wife and left the firm against his will. His marriage is great.

My wife asked if it's worth it. I told her that this is my passion and if she loved me she would support my passion. I got 3 kids and work today and I go in tomorrow on our only day off.

Point is, solve the underlying problems in the marriage. Put those issues in the light and don't let the job become a reason. Jmho. Gl man, I know how stressful this shit is.

Hi Fishes,
I have overall experience of 5yrs. Out of which 3years for US healthcare and 2 years for US mortgage. US mortgage domain has now become thinner as industry almost sunk since most of the companies has laid off employees, I was also the victim. Fortunately, got an opportunity to work Optum but heard rumours about the lay-off in our entire process which is creating a frustration and negativity all around. Please refer me if there's any relevant opening in backhend operations. Thanks!
