Any suggestions on how I can record meetings for my own notes? I’m participating in a bunch of meetings for various projects and sometimes going from one topic to another without any breaks in the middle. That makes it hard for me to remember specifics.

I know EY has a strong policy against this so just check with your company before recording anything

This. If anyone on the call is taking the call from a two-party state, and doesn't consent, recording them is illegal.

"Eleven states require the consent of every party to a phone call or conversation in order to make the recording lawful. These "two-party consent" laws have been adopted in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington."

I use OneNote. Each project has its own subsection and each call has its own notes page. Before each call, I take 5-10 mins to prep and list out the agenda and discussion items. During the meeting, I’ll quickly pause to type important notes or action items/owners in the specific discussion section within my agenda. It might not be the best way since it leads to a short pause for everyone on the call, but it’s what has worked best for me and I owe it all to OneNote for keeping me organized.

Also, OneNote has recording capabilities for those meetings when you do get consent from the attendees to record.

Do you have difficulty taking notes during the actual meeting?

Get staff to take verbatim notes for you!

What's the reasoning behind not allowing recording?

I do this with my phone and after the use I delete it. English is my second language and sometimes when people talking about technical things I’m not familiar with, I got trouble taking them down. I can’t think another good way to help the situation so I just do it.

Snag it can record your screen and audio

Advice needed: looking to leave public accounting and tax for good. I have two offers between a financial analyst and an accountant role. Based on your experience, which of the two has the best/better exit opportunities (should I decide to pursue the finance realm or something else) and better work life balance? The bigger pay as an analyst is tempting, but the company benefits are meh.
