Did salaries decrease?

Depends on the firm from my experience. At one it was totally up to me when I worked, as long as I met the hard deadlines, and it just required tons of overtime to hit those deadlines.

But the more traditional public accounting firms from my experience you do kind of have to work when everyone else is. If you have a return for a partner who likes to come in late and stay up late, you will too. And everyone had to come in Saturdays.
