Any Big 4 FS audit team in NYC is going to work you to the bone

I know two people that came from regional firms to EY WAM and left before 1 year

Is your background FS audit? I feel FS audit takes anyone with a pulse (even before this market)

DM me for a referral to Deloitte FDD

It sounds like you like FS audit, then go for WAM if FDD doesn’t work out

The hours and teams are tough (even by B4 standards) but you will have good exit opps out of there

Either way try to get out of the mid tier, those places suck (I worked at a top 15)

Do you mean FSO WAM? I love it here. Rough hours? I would say, totally depends on the team/client and your ability to focus. I personally never worked past 9-10pm during the busiest busy season.

If you'd like a more quiet transition to fs audit, I'm at a midtier where we work about 60 hours or less weeks during financial service busy season. Growing our client base every year, and a great team here

Need advice, my brother and his wife have a three month old and aren't the most cautious parents with my nephew. Yesterday, my SIL was giving him a bath and just left him in the tub on the counter to go run upstairs for something. Granted, the water came up to his chest and his head was angled out of the tub, bit still. Also, they leave him on the couch and walk away. I'm worried that when he starts rolling over he'll fall off because they will have developed this bad habit...

Hi recruiters! I am hoping a few people can share the salary range you’re seeing for a Director of Product Training position in a large software company. I’m seeing between $135k and $180k depending on YOE, scope of responsibilities, etc. I am negotiating a promotion opportunity and want to get more accurate data.
