What’s Plante Morgan’s work life balance like during busy season? I got vague answers when I asked saying it was “decent”

I was at 50-55 hours my first busy season, which seemed about typical.

It’s probably about the same as most other places. Hard to say since I haven’t worked at a separate firm. For our office it was 5 days mostly in office and half day saturdays. Other groups and offices had mostly WFH so it just depends on what group you get.

If you liked everyone you met at Plante Moran why do you want to work fully remote? I think you do yourself a disservice learning a new job and developing relationships when you don’t spend time in person.

Hi all, I have the long-term goal of ultimately getting into a good Venture Capital firm at Associate level. I currently work at Amazon , did my undergrad and Masters in Economics at LSE. I have 2 main questions:
1) Is it even possible/feasible to pivot from Amazon to VC given my background?
2) I have the option to internally transfer in Amazon to a product/program manager role or AWS in a start-up Manager role - which of these would be best to maximise my chances of eventually getting into VC?

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work. Which makes it difficult for firms because that’s not something that is easily measured. Also, this is why there is “value” in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?
