    Priorities
    Was just wondering (esp from those who say they will only work for a big four) what would they consider more important when picking a career path:

    Money and the likelyhood of eventual promotion to partner but at the price of long hours and little time to spend on yourself

    or

    Hours that would allow them to spend time with their family and friends etc but lower paid which would make you comfortable but not wealthy

    You have approximately a 3 percent chance, so likelyhood Isn't the word I'd use.

    greater likelihood, because the pay is so awful otherwise that you wont be able to support a family specially in london...
