I used to work in public accounting and then in finance and mortgage compliance. We had busy seasons and special projects that definitely hit 10-12 hour days, but it was for 6 days out of 7. A tiny silver lining is they always bought nice dinners and lunches.
But gurl, I hated that with a passion. So at 35, I went to grad school, got my master’s, did 2 years of post-grad, worked my ass off to start my own business.
4 years later, here I am! It’s not all roses, it’s really hard to market right now, and it’s even harder to actually do the work because *vaguely gestures at everything. But I would still much rather do this than finance.
Well apparently you didn’t work 12hours days to get there! 😁
sorry, I’m just kidding (and a bit envious!). I’m happy you managed to get to a nice work/life balance! 🙂
