Is applying a few days before the “Apply by” date too late? Do most decisions get made early on/they don’t wait for all applications before interviewing/hiring?

I met this guy online a month ago, we see each other once a week, and I find myself like him a lot, I feel more and more smitten with him (no sex at this point). We are not exclusive, and I think it’s early to have the talk anyway. Another guy matched online asked me out on a date, and I feel guilty about going. Can someone help me overcome the guilty feeling I have? 🥲

Are there any BS areas that are getting bonuses?

For couples who are not married yet - Do you guys talk about net worth, income, or anything even finance related? I know my SO earns more given his current industry, but thinks it’s rude to talk about those things. But I’m wondering… isn’t it normal for couples who live together or are married share those info? For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?

Considering obtaining a CFE certification. Can anyone share their experience vs experience obtaining CPA? I’m already a CPA. I just want a comparison of study time requirement and difficulty of exam.

Biggest pet peeve with seniors: "remember I already told you this" or "if you go back to your notes from our call" no shit I wouldn't be asking you if I remembered from all the million other things thrown at me

Had 2 hours of billable work today 💀

It looks like PWC has the “worst” paternity leave policy out of all the big 4 with only 8 weeks off then another 4 weeks at 24hrs per week. Anyone think this might change soon? EY and Deloitte give 16 weeks and KPMG gives 12 weeks.

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

Any tips to work with GDS? They seem spread way too thin and make silly mistakes but it’s because they are working until 2am each day. Hate having to micromanage and be the bad guy

Was helping my grandfather with formatting in a Word doc the other day...
Him: *clicks a button and the whole document shifts, messes up formatting that he has been tinkering with for hours. Cue him flipping out, police sirens in the background*
Me: *whisper shouting from the back of the room* crtl+z, ctrl+z, ctrl+z!!!
Him: *searches the keyboard for a solid 45 seconds, hits buttons* WOW...that fixed it!!!!
It’s the simple things in life, folks

What level do you recommend leaving big 4 Audit at?

I have been thinking about my financial goals which seem out of reach for the near future and I am having trouble coping with that fact. Is it worth switching professions now? Moved to HCOL so living at home is not a $aving option. Fortunate and grateful that my family has been able to continue to help me financially but I can’t help also feeling bad about it as a working professional. Would really be an improvement to feel financially independent while building equity in my future.

I have 5+ years at EY and i think it's time for me to bounce. What remote jobs out there are paying $120k+? Any idea welcome. Past experience not in audit if that matters.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

Top worst audit industries?

I’m in industry now and WFH for now (TBD May start going in 2x per week). I made lunch plans with a friend tomorrow and blocked my calendar for 1.5hrs. My boss sent a meeting request for 12:30-1 tomorrow which is obviously during lunchtime. In industry am I not ever supposed to make lunch plans? Am I expected to drop everything if my boss sends an invite request?

Anyone want to sell me their CFE books ?
