Are you a team work makes the dream work person, or do you prefer to work solo? I hate working with people so much that I'd rather complete large projects on my own than deal with my coworkers. I might be turning into an old, get off my lawn grandpa, but team projects are more work than they're worth.

I’m definitely more solo work oriented which is why I switched from audit to tax. Best move I made. It’s so much more satisfying to own the whole return rather than relying on other people for every little piece

If you practice collections in-house, what do you earn and do you receive a bonus?

I have practiced for five years and make $121k as an employee of a financial services company. As the only attorney, I oversee all statewide collections efforts, from demand letter to garnishment, with a case volume of nearly 7k new cases per year, of which the majority I end up litigating. I receive only a $1k bonus per year. Is my compensation fair? My last insurance defense gig was $75k.

1) Donald Trump has not condemned the group who plotted to kidnap Governor Whitmer and blow up a bridge to both hurt and possibly kill police officers so they couldn’t get to her.

2) He not only encourages the crowd at his rally to chant “lock her up” (which is incredibly insensitive, divisive, and incendiary) but himself yells “lock all of them up”

These are two very small, very clear examples of why rhetoric matters when you’re the leader and chief of the United States of America.

Will you completely leave behind the graphic design world or are you still wearing many hats and still fulfilling that design and creative buzz? What courses, or resources do you have to make that jump? Can my portfolio have made up projects for this? I feel like I’m starting all over in design school! Haha.

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.
