Not me. My job is pretty much non-stop and exhausting. I barely have time to run to the restroom between clients. And if the caseload runs low, you get sent home.
How much do all you guys that get paid "really well", actually make?
Are we talking $100K+ but <$150K?
Sometimes I wish I could just have a "normal" job like what all you guys here are saying is really boring and easy, lol and take a pay cut from where I am now.
For all of us who have not enough work to do to fill our time at work, have we found the alternative to retiring - slowing down, working smarter, not harder and still being paid? We could look at this period as transitioning to retiring and just enjoy it. It may not last long.... Am sure we would remember this time fondly when we are truly retired
So, what happened? You've gone from 60 hour weeks to .....I am 30 and a designated accountant up here in Canada. My goal is to retire at 45. Essentially I do not like the profession I am in or most of the people in it. 60 hour work weeks are considered "normal" and the people I work with really don't seem to have any lives outside of work and I have worked at 4 different places so I have decided that this profession attracts the kind of people I do not want to be around.
Maybe not so much stress, something changed since your first post?Just wondering if any others are also really bored at their job. My job is in accounting and is pretty busy during the first week of the month. For weeks 2-4 there is not a tremendous amount to do. Sure, stuff comes up occasionally that is urgent but I haven't felt really stressed about anything in about a year.
WADR, I know several people with either a CA or CMA who do not make a lot of money. Most like their jobs.I'm torn because I make excellent $ at this job (although in my profession getting a high paid job is not a problem) with no stress and a 40 hour work week.
. Don't whine on the boards.
When I get bored I usually go back to doing work while at work.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I find it hard to do so. Guess it is A personality traits, but if you tell me to do something and pay/incent me to do so, it will be DONE. Dinging me because I used the wrong font in my write up of how it was done means I will mentally commit murder at least three times a [-]hour[/-] day.
At least you are in the finance industry where incentives are paid to people who get things done. In the computer industry, the high-level executives vacuum up all the of the incentives leaving pathetically little for the people who get the work done.
