It's been almost 2 months since I left PwC to grow my startup and boy has the time flown by - it feels like a bit of a blur with things about to go to a whole new level - the missus and I are hoping to welcome baby #2 into our lives in [...]
By now hopefully you've read my story about why I left PwC and my learnings 4 weeks after my departure. I can honestly say that when I was a full time employee at PwC I thought that my life was a lot harder than what it might be when I move out and focus solely on Workspired. My rationale was [...]
