As a senior in audit when can I interview with my client? After we issue the audit? After we archive the audit? What about a start date?

If you even accept to interview, the client is required to disclose to the partner (per engagement agreement) and in most situations (depends), you could put the audit at risk from an independence perspective. Please go talk to the partner on your job immediately.

That’s not really answering the question I asked. Do you know how long I would need to wait to consider taking an interview to not put the audit at risk?

Akin to above, basically you CAN interview whenever, but you MUST tell you partner AND leave your team if you even want to apply. Senior level doesn't have restrictions to length of time between working the audit and working within the company, however you can't apply if you're on the team for any level of involvement.

I did this, but not during or around filing date. After I talked with partners letting them know I was going to interview, I had to suspend all work on the engagement. All they had to do was write a memo explaining why I wasn’t a risk to the audit.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Question: I have a client who started a restaurant. He leased the land and bought shipping containers where he spent money contracting out to turn them into bars.
