Any firms in the ASC740 provision space that aren’t overworking their teams year round? Just curious if this is the nature of the beast across the board. This is going to sound mean but looking for high performer responses. High performers usually end up in my position of overworking if there’s work so seeing if any of those people have found a good WLB.

Well high performer, I think you answered your own question.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist and totally get what you mean.

It’s a high value skill and the 3 firms I’ve been at all seem to be very busy in that space year round

Honestly I don’t think there are due to the nature of the work. Most clients are 12/31 YE so most work hits in January and February, and tight turnaround. Some companies are starting to do 10+2 or 11+1 to help shift some work from those heavy months

I came from compliance as well and it was nice at first. Forgot to mention I also did carve out projects, while hour-wise they were better, more consistent for the most part but pre-Covid we had to be on site every week and travel time wasn’t billable.

It’s also worth mentioning that provision work is more high stress than compliance especially as you rise up in ranks. Companies would rather file amended returns than restate financial statementa

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Been feeling very low for a very long time.

Cut to now, though I am well sought after for my skills and consistently got 25%+ bonus, I feel I have achieved nothing cuz I didn't get the promotions that I worked for, people have been chosen over me for overseas travel and destroyed my social life. Venting only! :)
