Big 4 audit Dubai

I just cant handle the pressure and the stress in this role. I am working so hard that I have ZERO work life balance. The entire day just goes in meetings and meetings. I think that I don't know anything and am extremely worried about my future. The work pressure is a lot here, deadlines are too tight and I have been vomiting from stress at night. The worst part is, Deloitte never pays for over time. Anyone else feeling this in other Big4s? I want to switch ASAP or I will die here.

Why do so many people work in the Big 4 given that you have to work so many hours and your work life balance doesn’t exist. Is having a Big 4 on your CV really worth all of that hassle and not having a life in your 20s? What about you guys? What are your personal reasons for staying with the big 4?

I am a new associate. All tasks assigned to me do not require any skills or a college degree. I feel like going through this will stagnate my skills. Every-time I show initiative, I do not succeed at making my team assign me more of the challenging tasks. Should I be more patient or look for another career or other big 4? I feel like a glorified admin assistant in my current audit role. Maybe even admins do more challenging work.

How is the work environment in the Big 4 firms for CA articles who have finished Intermediate? Is there enough in-depth exposure for articles who have chosen Audit?
