Anyone have PMP or similar credentials/trainings ? Do you feel like it helps in your accounting job or is this just something extra that nobody really cares about or finds useful?

The test can be studied for in about an hour so I would say the cert is useless. However being good at project management is definitely a valuable skill to have.

To add some context, I’m looking to improve my workflow management. I am in tax and we file hundreds of tax returns a year in addition to other projects. Was wondering if this would be worth the time to earn this cert

Curious to hear as well

It’s something extra to have but doesn’t help much

It definitely helps if you are in advisory or tax tech.

If you want to move out of accounting and in to project management it could be helpful

Yeah I just finished up my PIMP certification

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet. I am wondering if it is because industry folks are not familiar with my firm. I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
