Fully dependent on your client

Yep fully dependent on client. Will say I haven’t worked a weekend in 2.5 years though

It’s slightly chiller than audit

Which FAAS service(s) work the most/least?

Anything with transactions works a lot. Controls work is more steady. Stuff that doesn’t have crazy deadlines is chill

I’d go as far as to say it’s more project dependent than it is client dependent. I’ve worked in multiple workstreams for the same client and have experienced a wide range of intensity. Hours are not bad though. I’d say it’s not unusual to average 45-55 hours a week in FSO FAAS.

Haven’t worked a weekend in 3.5 years
