<p>I have a hard time believing an accountant can work those hours for that money. All the CAs I know (father, uncle, cousin, cousin’s wife) work a hell of a lot more than 40 hrs per week. My dad is a partner at a CA firm and he works like 50-60+ hrs a week normally, obviously those hours sky rocket during tax season. And he doesn’t take much vacation. I assume he makes over 100k but certainly not 150-200k. He basically discouraged me from going into accounting because he didn’t think the long hours/lack of vacation were justified by what he made.</p>
