The average day

Back when I was in college and going through my first job recruitment interviews I remember speaking to a young professional who was describing what post-college life was like. He said that the average day in college is way better than the average day of working. It was an interesting take and it always stuck with me.

(I’ve found that to be largely true as I do miss sleeping in and creating my own schedule which I don’t have the luxury of at work.)

I’ve been doing a lot of recruiting lately as our team has been growing like crazy and a question I often get is what the average day at work is like compared to my last job at PwC which is a gigantic firm.

In matter of transparency, I always tell candidates that life at Secfi isn’t always rosey. Startups are hard and I often feel like I’m getting punched in the face every day. There’s a lot of work that candidly I don’t want to do and we don’t have a workforce to pass the work off to. With that said, my bad day at Secfi is still better than my bad day at PwC. That’s a great thing.

On a more positive front, my good days at Secfi are way better than my good days at PwC. There’s no better feeling of fulfillment than growing this company and celebrating wins as a team. Our work is magnified here and it definitely feels that way all the time.

There’s still bad days like anywhere you work but the average day at Secfi is way better than the average day at PwC.
