The answer is maybe and i4 depends. Its depends on firm and office and service line and industry team and specific clients, etc. There are absolutely some national and large regional firms/offices where you will have a more manageable workload and gain more robust experiences. You might also achieve this at Big 4. As mentioned above, it depends. The reality is all these firms might be able to offer what you seek. Do your homework and find out what's the best fit for you so that you can achieve your goals! It goes much deeper than name on the letterhead. Good luck!

How do you figure this can be achieved at big four? With 80 hour per week busy seasons and busy seasons that last 6+ months it’s not really possible to have good work life balance below maybe director

Hi Fishes,
Need some positive suggestions.

I'm a data analyst(SQL, Python, ETL, Viz) with 6.5yrs exp at LTI(1 Month exp).
I left PWC AC after 6 months of joining because of the nature of dabba work I was getting(80% testing/documentation, 20% technical). Worked for 12+ hrs everyday and wanted to have some wlb.

Now in LTI, life is too peaceful and there's no technical work in current project. I'm getting thoughts like I'm wasting my skills by taking less tech projects at this stage of career.
