Anyone “boomerang” back to B4 into a different group and regret it? I was in audit and I’m now considering an advisory role. A recruiter told me it would look bad on my resume, which makes zero sense to me.

Recruiters just want their commission. I had a recruiter tell me that i was making “the biggest mistake of my life” by coming back to the big four. I cane back into my old group but switch group and absolutely love my decision. Go with your gut.

In this industry especially you have to be very careful about what will look good (or bad for that matter) on your resume. As EY2 points out, recruiters want their commission.

I wonder if the day will ever come that people actually ask about, talk about, or care about WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING DONE in various positions, rather than what it "looks like" on your resume. If someone, recruiter or otherwise, can't explain what it is that you would be doing and why it is that doing that thing would propel you to something else, that's kind of a red flag.

Was tempted to say they were full of it, but with that said what group would you be going back to in advisory and what are your career goals? Because if you’re going into risk advisory but want to do IB as an example long term then I’d agree that’s a bad business decision. But assuming it wasn’t something like that then I would agree the recruiter is being dishonest

Then ya I think your desire makes sense. I will say a lot of companies that have dedicated technical accounting groups operate in a similar function advising other parts of their organizations so that could be something to look into as well

I went back to advisory from audit. It seriously sounds like that recruiter is just trying to pull a commission out of you.

Microsoft why are you damn obsessed with making so much of your software “start on startup” by default?

It’s so annoying and Microsoft teams is the LeAST efficient chatting app out there so it’s awful on resources. Slack is SO much faster and doesn’t start on startup (I don’t think ?)…

you’re really quite something to blatantly copy the competition, make your product more sluggish, and then add in your nasty ass dark patterns. Microsoft teams = bloatware 90% of the time. Stop prioritizing it
