So I’m an accountant in Canada and work mainly only public companies, I’m in my third year, just wrapping up my CPA and this busy season really had me and my coworkers wondering what busy season is like in Europe. Really looking for any European with experience in big 4- as in what are your hours, do they change much
for us January to end of march all my weeks are minimum 60 hours of charged time to my clients or I get dinged (I know it’s not as bad as a lot of people here and the wages) we don’t get paid overtime, and we also don’t get to bank the OT – In Canada at least only 1 firm lets you bank overtime all the others you basically just have to work those hours for nothing.
Really curious if it’s much different as I have the opportunity to work over seas for two years in the German or Netherlands office
