Yes. Significantly longer hours for me. I found the work I was doing at big four pretty manageable. Could get it done in maybe 50 hours per week and was promoted a year early. Here I’m averaging probably low 60s ex. spikes. Work is much more engaging than was I was doing before.

Based on discussions Big4 strategy is about the same. MC/Risk etc. works less within a given Big4
