With all the change happening right now, my one hope is the PwC and other firms will stop treating their staff like they own their lives. I would hope 7 day 90+ hour weeks will go away at some point. I hope starting salaries will be better and bonuses will start being paid out more meaningfully to all levels, and not just management. Our CEO Tim Ryan has been giving sappy calls to all of PwC for several years while quietly reducing benefits and maximizing profits for the partners

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
