At mid-size firms it largely depends on the office. Responders will do better with a city for reference

Yes, drop a city for reference and line of service. I've worked in Tax in a medium size office and I would only have one 55 to 60 hr week a season, with most around 50. Other larger offices however would have 60 as their minimum.

What office is this? I work in tax and 65 hours a week is the minimum people are working. How are you getting away with 50 hours every week?

Pass this suggestion- ask everyone they interview with two questions. Fist ask what the expectations are for busy season then ask how many hours that person worked.

One company I talked to every person at my level said 50 max as expectation but they were the exception at 65. Ummmmm how is everyone the exception?

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts. It's a documentary about the wrestler who had about as bad an addiction problem as you can imagine. It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.
