I’ve been sustaining myself on ramen noodles, instant mac n cheese/frozen food for the last 2 weeks I feel gross. I don’t know how to cook... this has been hell.

Public client seemed confused when I told them a copy of a JE and a one word description "void" wouldn't be sufficient evidence for the item selected for testing.

Advice for studying for CISA? I’ve purchased the CRM, QAE, and Hemang Doshi’s book. So far I’m having trouble reading through the CRM because it’s so detailed that everything seems important and difficult to retain. I’m an incoming new hire so I think I should read the book even though I know people who have passed with only QAE (they were previous b4 interns)

Where do you go after B4 audit if you don’t want to go to industry that has true work life balance? I’ve been busy since September straight... this won’t end for a while. I enjoy accounting and enjoy being challenged, but my mental and physical health are also falling by the wayside. I’m only in my second year, but I’ve been working in full senior capacity for a while. I like the research/memo writing side of the job the most (when I get to do it). Just tired of the hours.

What are some good personal finance books?

Does anyone work in project management advisory? If so, what’s it like compared to audit? I’m interested in a role at PwC. Thanks!

We have a big deadline on Monday morning. The new hire said he won't be available during the weekend due to some personal/family commitments. Any thoughts? How should I manage this situation?

Hi Fishes,

Really dislike that OHG separates their PTO time into different categories... 10sick and 10vocation... so depressing 10 vocation days out of 365days a year...

Question!

The moment when you realise the colleague you work with does not do the research and know nothing about the industry at all and soo good at pushing the mistakes to the rest of the team.

I have family members who are inside claims reps for a large company. The company sends out emails 4 times/day showing who is currently not available for calls. To everyone working in claims in the entire country! It’s been a minute since I worked in claims. And never for this particular company. But is this shaming the new way to manage WFH.? Sounds at least toxic.

What’s so compelling about the sales side that makes agency people move?
