Is this the new normal for all of us?
I don't think even medieval serfs were pulling some of the hours my colleagues and I are pulling.
80 hour weeks of working and studying is the AVERAGE and some guys are pulling way more for weeks at a time. What's it like in other industries?
> Not waking up at 5am to lift in addition to work and study It's like you want to be poor. Pro tip: only people who follow the wisdom of the Greeks AND that of the Jews will survive to reproduce in today's globalist thunderdome.

>9am-7pm work in Big 4 company
Is this b8 m8? Or are you working as janitor?
Zachary Jenkins
During feudalism they all got about 6 months a year off, and they built cathedrals with their free time
Nathaniel Allen
Same, sometimes more (Finance). Main soul sucking part is that we're now strangers in the city.
Cooper Myers
Go to church on weekends, listen to classical music, study on the train, work-out hard, be intentionally content with life and pleasant, get rid of bad influences (Jow Forums), do something altruistic.
Jose Harris
I don't think you realise the physical and mental toll your body takes when you work 80 hour weeks for months on end.
Lucas Taylor
Buy a house up north in Cumbria.
I just got a 3 bed semi-detached for £70,000.
Mortgage free in 8 years. Escape the wage slaving as fast as you can.

Landon Bell
FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL, SOUF FC STAY OUT
Liam Russell
We're part of the graduate scheme, so if we have exams we get to leave at 6pm on the dot, but in reality it's around 7pm.
Also, I've just done my first professional block of TC/FAR/AA if anyone here is ACA qualified or doing it at Big 4.
What do you mean by that?
Nathan Perez
The issue is my skillset isn't farming or dealing with farm equipment and I doubt there's much FP&A exit opps there.
Sebastian Morales
Go on welfare
Alexander Richardson
I mean that London is pretty much Nairobi/Baghdad at this point.
Justin Green
No human being is meant to live like that user, chained to a desk for all those hours. It's the influence of Jewish business overlords on labor that causes people to work this much, like cattle.
Christian Butler
Holy shit dude.. >live in Sheffield and commute hour one way to work for a small 100ish man company IF I DECIDE TO GO INTO THE OFFICE. I'm earning about 100k (just short) writing software for automation systems. I live with my wife in a 3 bedroom detached house and we're about to get something bigger for kids we're starting to have next year. Not even 30 yet.
Get out of London. Get a better job Only you can choose do this for yourself
Lucas Wilson
Kek
Asher Campbell
OP how much you pulling in? I'm on 32k
Oliver Watson
The City always has been desu, You've got hordes of Europeans working there, especially French and Germans, plus Japanese, Chinese, Indian, you name it because of all the big global companies. Where I live outside of London it's still 99% native.
Wyatt Bell
>80 hour weeks of working and studying is the AVERAGE and some guys are pulling way more for weeks at a time This is definitely not average, sounds like you live in a bit of a bubble. What job role and how much do you get paid? Maybe you should consider a lower paid job where you actually get to have a life or move out of London. I work as a line manager for a medium sized company up in the Norf, got plenty in savings and good living standards.
You need at least 6-7 hours of rest each night if you're working out otherwise you're gonna fuck yourself up over time
John Turner
I'm doing ACCA as well but I'm working for a 1billion revenue company. I work 8-4 and walk 30 mins to work.
Big 4 cucks come over and audit us, I've seen the wage slaves my age and I feel sorry for them as I leave nice and early.
Eli Powell
this. feudalism was based
Samuel Reyes
Neither is mine, I moved from around Birmingham. I'm a web developer.
Why not do accounting for small businesses?
You do not need to be anywhere then per say.
I was walking around Penrith and only saw one mudslime and he was a Turkish barber.
Jackson James
£32k as well.
It's (relatively) low compared to the lawyers, consultants and bankers but B4 pay for our training, books, classes, weeks of time off in College which probably amount to £10-15k a year so it's quite fair. We get a highly sought after qualification out of it too.
Bro you must be getting paid well pulling those kinds of hours, even if your life sucks. Also, just study two hours a night not four you masochist. Also, you have weekends to yourself no? Get 8 hours of sleep in every night, youll feel better almost instantly.
Ethan Hill
Also to add I earn £25k a year but I don't work in any major city so my rent is £385/month for a two bedroom so my overall spending is likely lower than yours too
Just don't be a wimp pussy and go work for your parent's petition, ya ungrateful cunt
Isaac Rodriguez
In my shitty blue collar fueld any job that dies 8 haours gives happy meal wages and thr alternative is 70+ hours a week for BARELY middle class wages
Im making preps to drop out of this Im getting nowhere and would rather enjoy life before I go after the responsible parties and be done eith it
Isaac Rodriguez
ACA*.
I did FAR/AA/TC December gone and doing the last 3 professionals this summer.
Even after 12 months I look around the office and I can see that as an intake all 80 of us are beginning to struggle a bit. Everyone has eyebags, conversations are now a bit muted and people have gained weight since we started. It doesn't help that it's currently busy season too.

Gavin Williams
>9am - 7pm Those are rookie numbers Try 6:30am-6:30pm, alternating 5 days and 7 days a week. I just had this weekend off too, yay only 10 more days for another
Sucks now, but will pay off in the long run the shit we're going through now. Also smash some tinder qts on weekends to lift your spirits, and hit the gym a few times a week
Carter Williams
SeeYou get a smaller pay in exchange for study resources and a sought after qualification.
If you work for a £1 billion revenue company but not a major city, you're most likely one of the guys who provide IT or back office support. Places like JP Morgan's huge centre in Bournemouth springs to mind.
Kayden Fisher
>8 hours of sleep >tired and red-eyed what are you a woman?
John Myers
>Also, you have weekends to yourself no?
Wishful thinking. Emails are still flying in
To quote my manager
>The great thing about our computer system is, is that everyone is reachable anywhere at any time. So you can send an email or update some working papers from home, in the airport, or wherever.
Not to mention the recommended 12 hours of revision over the weekend.
Oliver Perry
I'm a Tax/Statutory accountant.
Considering my training has also had me do some project accounting (drawing up management accounts for our contracts) I bet I'm better trained than you as well.
Brandon Hernandez
I think this is doable while you are under 35, but this will need to ramp down as you age.
Jordan Nelson
>I bet I'm better trained than you as well.
Probably, half our time so far has been spent in College or external training days. The work itself is incredibly niche at B4.
Noah Ross
Are you the same guy that posted the notes his faggy boss left him for staying at the office (to study) after office hours?
Connor Butler
The only guys I know doing well are in finance and insurance. Except a few who put in ridiculous hours in the trades. You'll be fine and are on the right track.
Boo fucking hoo >I took a high pay high pressure career path >It requires my time and effort You chose this.

Nathaniel Turner

How old are you people? No one gets married here until they're 32+
Josiah Martinez
Why the CPA?
Spend those 20 hours per week to build yourself a business (preferably one that can operate online). And when you got traction, ditch your wage-slavery.
Your gvt has welfare in case you fail, and from your post, even THAT seems an improvement.
Josiah Perry
production/lager at a elektrofabrik, nothing an actual retard couldnt do, but im thorough and have years of experience i got a bit lucky that they were opening and needed people right away without shitty ausbildungs etc its laughable how many youngsters slave away now working nearly full time and doing school at the same time to get only half an electricians degree, basically just for montage LOL
Isaiah Rivera
We're all made to take the ACA (English CPA) at B4.
Besides it's really sought after. After becoming qualified your wage jumps up £20k in one year with huge gains after.
This is my end game, my only concern: is it too usurious/ jewish?
Lincoln Powell
>Also smash some tinder qts on weekends to lift your spirits >Nice life
Fuck you Belgium you non country if I lived in Belgium I'd need to life my spirits Jesus Christ just look at the absolute S I Z E of your health minister
possibly if shit goes sideways which it looks like it will property suddenly becomes the worst possible asset
Lincoln Jones
>Not so fat, Belgium
Wyatt Long
>I don't think even medieval serfs were pulling some of the hours my colleagues and I are pulling medieval serfs had more time off than you would think. they pretty much only worked about 2/3 of the year and partied the rest of the time. religious holidays were all over the calendar back then and getting drunk and fucking like rabbits was the normal means of celebration. god loves babies and kings love their people, so godly governments natuaraly love young married couples cranking out families. the middle ages were golden, history is all lies.

exactly the same only in burgerland and bar exam instead of bongistan and CPA
Jonathan Sanders
I just work a part time job and have a roomate. Life is good. 100K faggots that sell their soul to be a corporate cog were sold a lie. Take the part time job and roomie pill.
I work 10-12 hour shifts. Only like 3 or 4 days a week max. Get to hang out with my girlfriend and do whatever I want on my time off. Earn a cozy amount too. Not "fuck you" money but easily more than my mates. Even earn more than some mates + their partners salary put together.
It's great
Jaxon Powell
nah I'm 40 and still pull some crazy hours and lack of sleep but I also look after myself as best as I can when I'm not being a retarded faggot in working more than I should. Stay fit and keep your nutrients up is key to being less sick.
I'm guessing you get along quite well with your roommate. In my experience, roommates suck. They don't clean up after themselves, have a bunch of people over and always touch my shit. I'd love to have a place all to myself. Currently living at home. It's like having roommates.
