This is going to depend heavily on the company. I’ve seen industry people work 40 hrs a week and I’ve seen other pull public accounting hours.

So typically if you are under manager and their team isn’t super lean, you could probably do 40 hours outside of quarter/year end. But thanks to month end close this does really limit vacation times. Once you hit manager and above though I see them working late nights all the time online (still remote for now).

Recommendations for firms to look into in South FL? I'm in Ft. Lauderdale but am open to Boca or Miami. I'm a first year associate in ID (coverage issues) but really would prefer transactional work. More importantly though, I'm looking for companies who pay relatively well (doesn't necessarily have to be market), are open to remote/hybrid work, aren't sweatshops. I'd settle for insurance work if theres good WLB & $$$ lol

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.
