To expect people to work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, for a full third of the year is beyond ludicrous, it would seem. And it seems like the hours in the Tax/Consulting/Advisory practices of these firms are much more reasonable, even if a standard 40 hour workweek may still be elusive. So what gives in the Big 4 culture? Is it all just about fattening the partners' pockets while making it nearly impossible to stay around long enough to reach the Manager level?
