I did 2.5yrs in internal audit (non-SOX) and did less than 15 hrs/week of real work. Went back to PA because it was too boring, but looks a lot better now

Is that a joke?

Construction. It’s bulky more than anything and little oversight most places once you can be trusted not to hurt yourself with the WIP schedule. Work slow so you don’t get overloaded. Bonus points you can tell your clients to [insert favorite vulgarity]once in a while and everyone thinks you are some technical wizard.

Huge caveat that you must be conservative or be able to pretend such.

Why would you want to work in a slow paced accounting job? It is always more enjoyable to be busy but not overwhelmed.

If you are worried about your own personal time I presume you don’t have kids?

In that case, trust me, you can get out now and afford a pay cut. It’s much harder to do with dependents!

Internal audit…non SOX. I agree

Hotel night auditor

About 1% is slow paced, usually due to lack of projects.

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health.

If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.
