Any tips on how to stay above water as a new manager in public accounting? Soon I’m Starting new firm as a tax manager. I’m going from being a heavy senior with an acting manager role on most engagements and i have 9 years of experience so i’m not completely green. I’m just trying to start this role off on the right foot - like not getting too bogged down in the details, delegating effectively, setting up high performing teams, etc

I am 25 years old - have been in the ‘mortgage underwriting profession for 2.5 years. I have heard some things about getting stuck in a specific assets class and mortgages when pursuing underwriting.

Did someone get fired in the new manager training in Orlando after getting drunk?

Working with no budgets in any team. Partners indirectly encourage you to eat up hours. End of year it’ll hit my util even tho im 150% utilized. Getting sick of this nonsense.

When is the best time to leave and go to another big4? I am at PwC and I knew the reputation they had and Some people said It may not be for me because of it.

I want to try to quit end of December and hoping to start a new position February.

Are all Big 4 firms equally tone deaf, or is it just EY? I feel like they don’t address the fact that people are leaving in droves and the ones left behind are burnt out - we continue to have these big growth targets, but fewer and fewer people to actually do the work.
