I work 8am-6pm during the off periods, 8am -7pm or 8pm during quarters and in January and February it's basically 8am to anytime from 10pm to 1am. It is terrible during "busy" season and I don't really like the profession in general, and we def don't get compensated enough for the ridiculous hours. But it looks good on a resume?
You guys are crazy. My brother was an auditor at EY . . . dude was working ridiculous hours, and started at, like, $50k or something.

Yea, they start out at like 47k now. I'm in audit too, don't touch taxes. It's absurd for the hours during busy season. Don't get me wrong its good money out of college, and is key on a resume, but damn.

You could easily live off 4 grand a month almost anywhere out of college. Your argument is just dumb.

47k is before taxes. Do you have any idea how much it costs to live in a city that doesn't suck?
