As a manager, how do you balance between high and reasonable expectations for your employees? And how do you handle mistakes from your employees? Do you always document every mistake?

I aim for clarity over pressure, so I set high but realistic goals and check in often. Mistakes happen, so I always look at patterns instead of one-offs. I only document if it keeps happening or affects others. Most of the time, a direct conversation and support work better than formal steps.

you sound like a great manager

It varies employee to employee if you ask me. Some team members are more driven, some more sensitive, and others simply content... I know who is making mistakes out of sheer laziness and who is trying their best. I take an individualized approach but have to be careful doing that as well to ensure it doesn't come off as favoritism.

i think it's very thoughtful that you don't take a blanket approach for all your employees!

How is the work life balance in a big 4 firm for a senior in the tax department year round?

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
