  "account": "PwC's U.S. Chief Executive, Paul Griggs, has urged young employees to be enthusiastic and responsive to new opportunities, even if it means working on weekends. Griggs highlighted the importance of taking initiative and learning beyond one's usual work hours, which could lead to advancement in one's career. According to Griggs, those who remain curious and eager to learn, even during their time off, will stand out compared to their peers who simply disengage after their regular workday. He suggested that dedicating additional hours for research or study during weekends can provide a competitive edge. Griggs emphasized that the effort put in during these periods would lead to more responsibilities and eventually, climbing up the corporate ladder. Fortune reached out to PwC for further comment.",
