Anyone here work in outsourced financial services?

So I recently graduated in the fall semester from school, and I am now trying to find a entry-level full-time position in my field. I graduated with a BA in Cinema and Television Arts; specifically in Entertainment Media Management. I wasn’t able to do an internship because of work and personal stuff. Does anyone know any good tips of what entry level positions I should look into?

Anyone know of companies looking to hire an Event Director? I feel like events jobs have been disappearing recently. Preferably remote.

Hate it when recruiters tease an exciting opportunity but refuse to say over LinkedIn what the company or role is... “Must set up a call for confidentiality reasons.”

I need some good career-development or finance-related books, anyone got any recs?

DOES BNP PARIBAS INDIA offer car lease policy to its employees?? If yes, is it available for the post of Senior Associate

Looking for insight on business immigration firms in LA. I worked as a judicial clerk/staff attorney at the immigration court and occasionally handles decisions involving employment-based immigration, non immigrant visas, and waivers. I’d like to get into business immigration and eventually advice and counsel for employers, so I’m wondering whether I should be looking into full service firms with L&E and immigration. Thanks!

This question is quite broad and subjective but would love to hear some thoughts. For a couple with family income of about 60 LPA in India, is it wise to move to Canada/UK via the PR route? I have seen no matter how much experience you have, it's usually about building up from scratch.

Has anyone taken mental growth leave from NY BL who is willing to please share about their experience? I would truly appreciate it.

27F, 2nd year associate (no ambitions of being partner) - I’m depressed, anxious, stressed and just need a break. I’m at the point where I’m willing to quit with no other options, but want to see if theirs any safer way of taking a breath of life and grinding a little longer (I have loans, I financially support my parents, etc. ).

Hi Guys,

Does EY gives wfh.
I will be joining ey in jan next year.@

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

Is Accenture > BIG4?

What’s your best advice for staying awake /alert during 3+ hour calls, I’m struggling? I try to sip on ice water since I don’t drink coffee, but even though it works sometimes and I’ve never fallen asleep per se, you can tell I’m yawning more frequently and my eyes turn to slits once in awhile.

Where did people have success with stamping? I’m a Russian citizen and trying to get an H1B stamp to visit my family. Been close to 2 years since I haven’t travelled abroad and hate it

How bad is it if someone misses 3 time sheets and is up for senior promo?

Does anyone ever use their overtime meal to buy something else when at Walmart or Supertarget?

What skills lead to success in M&A?

I love reading fishbowl during my bathroom breaks. Keeps me sane during busy season.

If you put in your 2-week notice and they cut you off that same day for going to a competitor, would you still get paid for the remaining 2 week period? (Assuming it's the start of the period)

About to put in my 2 weeks next Monday, what should I be aware of?

Does anyone have any good books or podcasts about how to develop leadership/ managing skills?

Me: Hi, can I please get a report of (insert report name here)?
Individual: *sends screenshot*
Me: This is great! Can you please send to me the report?
Individual: *sends screenshot of another report*
Me: You know what, never mind! *copies and pastes screenshots into word document and adds to the audit file* Done!

If minimum wage is increased to $15 dollars, what else do you think will be affected? Do you think other salaries will increase, do you think there will be a jump in prices, or will there be no changes besides less people in poverty?

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?

What are the highest paying tax group in big four? M&A, TP?

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.

What is this "Tax Tech" I keep hearing about?

To those in leadership, no PBB is what it is, but to blame it on COVID-19 is just a slap in the face...2-3 weeks of working from home doesn’t kill the fiscal year when we’re 9 months in....

Do CPAs bill at a rate higher than a non CPA at a public accounting firm or do they both bill at the same rate?

Can anybody here speak to what accounting was like before Excel and work papers were on paper? How did audits get done?

Good exit opportunities from B4 for a tax senior? I cannot see myself doing this and want to get out before it’s too late. Thanks!

I’ve seen a lot of recruiters recently trying to hire for advisory consulting firms that claim they do the work that Big 4 can’t because of independence issues. Does anyone think these types of firms are sustainable or will big 4 find a way around the independence restrictions and take this work back?

Anybody interested in these billion dollar cuts to HUD? How will that effect the audit industry for LIH?
