Anyone do tax accounting at BDO? How is it?
Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at โexperienced associateโ because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!

I think we can all collectively roll our eyes at the OP here. ๐๐๐

Cuz you're not ready and you're so blindly naive.
@OP have you done any technical accounting research? Written technical memos? Have you dealt with complex audit areas (bus comb, rev rec, etc...)? Dealt with running an engagement, managing a PBC list, coaching staff, managing the budget, formulating a controls testing plan? My guess is that you haven't. You're definitely underestimating the roles the seniors play. There's not a single staff in America that's ready to senior at B4 after 1 year.
Yeah, as soon as you get that promotion it's just a matter of time until you're desperate for the next promotion in my experience. Don't forget to enjoy your life while you're waiting for the next stage.
What makes you think you're so ready for promo after 12 months?
All hail the cave of unreported exceptions!
Don't you have another year before you get promoted?
@OP if you're ready to promote the responsibility will come, as will an early promote. Enjoy the A2 life while you still can and remember the grass isn't always greener.
A2 here - I don't think I ever want to be senior. Too much stress and responsibility
Calm down ans enjoy ur staff 2 yr. its a blessing
@DHG1 Yes. On July 1, I began a countdown. 525,600 minutes!!
Are you in Advisory? Doesn't Audit already know about who's getting promoted?
Getting taste of senior now as A2 and its a lot of work. I'm good as an associate ๐ค for now.
I'm in Audit. I was a first year this year.
Switch firms if you want an early promotion
@PwC 2 My engagement reviews have been great. I also have been observing my seniors, and I can definitely do their jobs.
Are you asking for an early promotion? That will almost never happen unless your team left the firm and it ended up being just you and a partner to finish the engagement basically.
No, I'm not asking for a promotion. I was just making a statement that I'm ready for a promo....
Lol. I'm not asking for an early promo. Why an eye roll?
