Thinking about potentially leaving public accounting in the next year or so after maternity leave. Are there any accountants out there that work part time, say 2-3 days a week? Would love to be more part time and spend more time with my kids

I did part time at Deloitte for years. It’s not always easy but I managed my client load and was flexible around deadlines so it worked out.

I’m interested in what this looked like. How many hours, what was your role, what was your salary?

How did you like it, in the long run?

I'm top 10 and did a 60% schedule for years....it was 24 hours/week for the 6 slower months and 32 hours/week for the 6 busier months. It, of course, would fluctuate sometimes, but it was 100% worth it. Years later, I've increased to 75%, but intend to stay reduced, probably forever.

Want to start saving/investing from this year. Got £11K and will have £2K a month to invest - any recommendations? I don’t want to take crazy risks, somewhere where this is steady long term growth. Have already maxed out pension and I assume next step is maxing out ISA? After that, what is best? (From UK)

Hey everyone! I am currently working as a BA 3 on market expansion and I want to pivot to financial services. I’d love to do strategy, internal consulting, or BA. Downside is that I don’t have a business degree, I studied healthcare admin. Is that a big deal, especially considering my experience?

Would love any advice on how to break into a new industry!

I’m a junior and I have the opportunity to join the employment and benefits group as a specialist. The alternative is VC/M&A.

I’m under the impression that joining the EB group will still give me decent exit ops, has more manageable workflow (less unexpected dumpster fires like in deal-work), and a somewhat better WLB because of my previous point.

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?
