You mean the ones who make unrealistic promises and practically give away the work such that it screws up the engagement partner’s/manager’s metrics?

If they can bring in the clients - which creates opportunity for others - they are worth their weight in gold. It’s a scarcer skill than repetitive compliance. But notice I did say “If”.

They do exist. More prevalent is the BD partner who brings in the 100 entity client group that will take 2,000 total hours at a fee of $100k. The BD partner gets the $100k ‘win’, and the engagement partner with $400k write-off and shit realization gets the shaft.

Hi. I am a Transition teacher in California. I would like to know what is the ratio of students to staff for community outings in your districts? I have been teaching in my district for 20+ years and it has always been 4:1 ratio for our moderate/severe transition classes. Now our director is saying it's 6:1 and I don't feel like this is safe for our students.

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience). I was told I am one of the top employees in the firm. When I asked about a raise, I was told “when you think about it at your level 5k to 10k doesn’t really matter it’s the long term goal that matters”. What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?

The big four conspire to pay CPAs far less than we are worth. Partners are paid millions and you’re only making $75k. You should have been starting at twice that.
