Switching to 12-hour shifts soon! It's good for my schedule, but I'm stressing about leaving my two dogs alone so long. I have no family or friends nearby, don't trust my neighbors, and I'm totally creeped out by the idea of giving a dog walker a key to my house. Nurses who work 12s and have dogs, how do they handle the long day? I need ideas!

I leave my dog at the same kennel I use for out of town trips. They keep him while I work (NOC) then I pick him up after my 2nd or 3rd shift. Maybe, check into something like that.

I have worked 12 hour shifts for years. I use Rover and found a wonderful sitter for my shift. It’s piece of mind for me. It’s not that expensive and I wouldn’t do it any other way!

I used Rover as well, you can see their reviews and how many return clients they have. I used them to walk my dogs and get a little cheap camera so you can check in on them and just let them know you have a camera so they know they’re being watched and I’m sure they’ll be on their best behavior!

I believe that your dogs are gonna be just fine. I used to work with these kind of hours and they were fine all along!

How long do they typically take to schedule the final round of discussions? Do they eliminate candidates in this round?

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
