Currently in core audit after 2 years and have my CPA. Looking for other jobs and wondering what potential exit ops there are? Have been looking for FPA roles but a lot require specific finance experience. Also, what kind of salary could I expect if I jump to roles like senior accountants?

Managers- be honest, do you reward yes people at promotion or people who stand up for themselves/challenge your opinion.

Has anyone had an affair with a married client? How did it end / did it impact anything real at work?

How to confront a manager who uses the R word with me? Started a new industry gig a few weeks ago and they have used this term multiple times while we were in a meeting one on one. I’m not trying to sound like a typical PC millennial but I find this language pretty offensive (as I am friends with people on the autism spectrum). I’m not trying to “cancel” them and def don’t want to involve HR in the first few weeks here.

Having my performance review soon. Have not met my billable hours last year due to lack of work. I have been very proactive and constantly emailed partners to inquire about more work. I will be a 4 year associate this year. Thinking to negotiate my level/compensation. Any advise?

Were there a lot of layoffs only at EY or at several consulting companies?

Was anyone deciding between medical school and consulting? I've taken a detour from pursuing medical school to go into consulting. Idk if I'm making a mistake or not after reading Fishbowl.

How can utilization encourage efficiency? I have a 30hr code and I finished the work in 5hr. If I charge 5, the write up gives credit to the partner and my utilization suffers.

Have clammy hands, can't help it, and I'm always trying to avoid shaking hands for that reason. Any tips on how to get around the "obligatory" hand shake?

Is LinkedIn helpful? I only see it as a means to showcase one's experience/education background. Am I missing out on its benefits? Not a lot of big agencies post jobs there (atleast in my city) and the recruiters that do reach out have vague, often marketing-related, job offers.

Has anyone made the jump from Healthcare Consulting into Cloud Healthcare (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud)? Any tips/certifications you found helpful?
