[quote=Anonymous]I have been in public, private and also taught accounting/tax. My experience in public is that even when they talk about flexibility, that only means that you are flexible to leave the office at 5 so that you can log in again when you get home. There is a great demand to work a lot of hours. The better you are, the more hours they want you to work. Plus as you move up, you have duties for giving evaluations, mentoring staff and client development and networking. I can't remember how many nights I would miss dinner with the family, and my children would ask me when I would be home and not have to work. My latest stint in public was for 6 years, and I finally moved to industry. The work life balance has been so much better, and I get to see my kids on the weekends. My schedule is so much more predictable. I hope I never have to go back to public accounting. [/quote]
