Looking to get out of public accounting and applied for a Staff Accountant position. The company is known for having a great culture and I’m thinking the schedule will be much better. I’m thinking the compensation will be similar in the new position as what I’m making now so I wouldn’t be getting the normal jump in pay people expect when leaving public accounting. If I were to be offered the position, should I take it? Should I expect a better position if I’m looking for an accounting type role?

Would going from Risk Assurance at a Big 4 accounting firm to a Staff Accountant position in industry be a wise career move?

Advice needed: Hey guys, currently on a pretty crappy project. Way too much work for what I’m getting paid for, talked to a former director and they said there’s no real career plan. Pretty much stuck in a staff aug role where they just need bodies to do work and client seems to get away with whatever they want (biggest account for us). Seriously contemplating quitting even without a new job lined up. Any advice from someone whose been in a similar spot? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I got a screening phone call with HR for a staff accountant role. Any ideas on any questions I can ask that an HR person would know? Thanks!

2+ Asc. looking at exit opps. in Tech -

1. What's your view on Chief of Staff vs. Product Manager roles at a Tech company post-consulting (e.g., pay, impact delivered, WLB, growth etc.)?

2. What are the chances of a 2+ Asc. getting either of those opps.?

3. Opps. are usually better as EM vs. Sr. Asc. (esp. when you're at the cusp), but it feels like the timeline to EM is getting stretched due to COVID-19. Is it worth waiting 6+ months to get designated, esp. with terrible WLB?

Any tips on delegating the ‘right amount’? I’m being asked to perform acting manager role and now have two levels under me.. and I am having some difficulty gauging how much I should be delegating. I don’t want to overwhelm the ‘acting senior’ staff but also want to delegate enough so that I can cover all my areas.

Currently being offered a strategy role for which I don’t think I’m 100% qualified for. It’s a step up from my current role and responsibilities. I know the basic elements to execute, and have a strong foundation, but in this role, I’ll be expected to lead engagements, manage staff etc. There’s going to be a huge learning curve. Not sure if I should accept or not. I know this can be huge for my career. If someone has been in this situation before, please share your thoughts.

I have a 15 min phone screening coming up for a staff accountant role I have! Is there any advice on how to prepare for this? Thanks!

I've been laid off from D. I'm seeking a similar role, "Resource Manager" or "Engagement Staffing Manager". To summarize, the role entails working with business managers to help fill open roles, providing available staff, and forecasts, etc.; and working with practitioners as they near or land on the bench. Do other consulting firms, such as EY, PWC, Accenture, etc. have such positions? If so, what are titles do they have? I'm seeking alternative search terms.

Advice needed: I met a senior exec at a virtual industry event, we've stayed in touch during COVID via email. Shared with him a white paper I wrote, which he responded positively to, going as far as to CC his senior staff and telling them to read it. I want to transition to this organization, but they don't have any jobs available that fit right now. Should I broach this job interest now or wait until a suitable role in his division pops up?

Worth it to take a $45k paycut for a tenure-track position w/ USAID Foreign Service? ($135k to $90k). FS was a lifelong dream-originally got the offer 5 years ago & was on hold till now bc of hiring freeze. Would be leaving a DoD contractor/staff augmentation role. I'm qualified for better paying civil service jobs, but the older you are the harder it is to get into government. I want to be in public service, but thinking of scratching that itch in some other way. Curious to hear perspectives.

Transitioning into a Chief of Staff role in a few weeks, but free to choose the title between CoS or VP of Strategy & Planning. Anyone have an idea what‘s better for the MBA application?

I was “promoted” a few years ago from an associate to a senior staff position (got a raise etc). They picked me b/c I’m smart and work hard. Baby associates now treat me like a secretary. Ridiculous.

Why would anyone under the age of 25 want to work for a holding company advertising agency? Inbred corruption. History of not hiring people of color. Or hiring them and making them ‘write White’. The history of abusing defrauding and demeaning women. Currently in the middle of a huge ageism epidemic. Human resources that reports right back to managers. Under paying staff while overcharging clients. These agencies will die from lack of clients but even quicker from lack of new talent.
