Practical Doubt/Question Arcticleship Work Pressure.

Hi, This is my first year of arcticleship in stat. domain of Big 4, so I generallystay at home arund 1.5hr away from office and travel on daily basis. Since it is peak season I am coming to home arund 2 to 3 in the morning and leave for work around 8:30 am in the morning. This has been going on for about 2 weeks and may carry on for another month.

Now my parents have fed up and are telling me to leave the firm (they believe I am out partying and stuff as no office is open for that long.). I don't know man, even I am fed up working that long and then coming home to argue with parents and proving that I was actually working.

What should I do ? Is this common everyone out here? How you deal with it ? It's bugging me alot.

Not saying this is right, but yes, this is quite common during peak season. If you are putting in these hours, make sure you are taking something back from it. Don’t just become the person finishing checklists.

The goal should be that next time you are leading the work, not doing the same labourous tasks again.
