Any thoughts on Big 4 international tax advisory role vs in-house tax counsel role at F100?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you are waiting for a background check to clear for the big 4 and you did not have the exact dates of a former job but you have the month and the years correct would that disqualify you? 

I left Big 4 after 2 internships and 1 year as a staff for reasons I’ll describe below. I was highly rated and they didn’t want me to leave. I want to go back but only if I can be a senior. Realistic?

My maternity leave will be over in a couple months, and I’m debating staying at home full time. I’m not sure if I should go back and give myself a few weeks or a month and see how it goes, because I might change my mind. Or do I burn less bridges by not returning at all? And if so, when do I tell them? Not sure how to navigate this. (I’m in Big 4 accounting.)

Which career path is harder to get into and stay in: Big 4 public accounting or Big 3 consulting?

Going to BDO from big 4, advisory, similar practice but can work on clients that I’m more interested in. Experienced staff level. Any suggestions on the pros and cons? How’s work life balance there?

How to network with MBB professionals if I work at B4?

Has anyone used Craig’s List to search for gigs?

Currently an industry hire at a big 4. I’ve been here almost a year. I recently got an over to exit to tech industry. Is this something that’s going to look bad on my resume?

To all of those in DTLA, stay safe.

Whoever is the chair of this bowl--please pin one of the substantive ergonomic chair threads. Keeps coming up endlessly--and will likely happen again and again in this extended WFH surreal moment in all our personal and professional lives.

What do your normal hours look like? I made plans for 5:00pm (after working until 9pm for the past few weeks) and was told that I cannot have plans during “normal working hours” which are from 8am to 8pm. There was nothing due the next day and nothing urgent that needed done. I talked to my manager and he pretty much said that’s consulting hours. It’s a small firm, so curious what other people’s hours are?
