Audit Senior Associate Stockholm
Pros: A lot of responsibility right out of the gate. You learn things every day. Co-workers are all former top students so it's very rare to find slackars or uninspired people. Overtime is either payd out or you can use it for longer vaccations. No limits or clauses and it's up to you make room in your schedual to take long vaccations (been taking 6-8 week vaccations during the last 3 years). Travel is uncommon if not requested by you.
Cons: Long workdays during busy season, 60-70 hour work weeks are not uncommon. Salaries are very low compared to the alternatives. No bonuses until manager level (approximatly 6 years working experience). Travel is uncommon if you like that sort of thing. A lot of people leave the firm during the first 4 years so managers are scarse and if you're a manager yourself you get an insane amount of work put on you. Compensation package is getting worse for every year.
