Sometimes working in finance is pretty cushy, despite the lower pay. I mean do any of us actually consistently work 40 hour weeks? Some weeks I feel like if I get my stuff done then its only like 30 hours of straight work, then the rest of the time I'm just at my desk or whatever keeping an eye on things. Do you have similar experiences or am I an anomaly?

There are times when I really don't have enough to do, but I manage to keep myself busy, or at least I look busy. I once had someone caution me not to ever complain about being bored or not having enough to do. If you do that someone will find things for you to do, and you will not like it.

I’ve complained so much and given up as there isn’t “more” to do in my role 🤣

My weeks are typically 55. You are lucky!

It’s okay!

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.
