As an experienced hire, how long is the hiring process and how much can you negotiate your salary? I’m considering a few big 4 options

WiFi didn't work in a 3 hour flight, no inflight entertainment sets as well, how many miles can I claim?

Any Florida hotels (Hyatt/Marriott) near the beach that people recommend? Looking to avoid Miami.

Do you still have opportunity to negotiate salary when you’re going thru a recruiter and they tell you the range upfront?

Hi All,
Is anyone from SAP MM in PWC staying in banglore?

Please comment.

Thanks in advance

Joining Deloitte in 2weeks. What Deloitte send laptop, do they send extra monitor, keyboard and mouse? Or does it need to be purchased using $1000 productivity subsidy? And do we need to use Amex card to purchase and then reimburse?

If you receive an offer how can you ask for more time other than the two weeks to give notice? I would like a week or two to myself before I start working for a new company - is that too much to ask for?

How long does it typically take a M3 to get promoted to SM in P&T.

Does google flights increase the price on repeat searches if you don’t book the flight right away?

How do you manage to get covid test done in the 24 hours window? PCR takes time and none of the labs I reached out to does rapid testing.

What state is best to work in logistics? I am thinking somewhere along the coast, but I am not sure where exactly.

I’ve seen quite a few people online talk about how digital marketing is dying or on its way out because of AI and other automation tactics. Is any of that true, or are people just overreacting?

Can someone let us know about leave and insurance policy in detail 🙂

I have a tax question. My father in law passed away in 2020 and we inherited his house. We are still in the probate process and we haven't got the house title. However, we have been paying the mortage and interest since we inherited the house. We filed the tax return for deceased person last year. Can we claim the mortgage interest deduction this year on our joint return (even though the 1099 will have my father in law's name)? Really appreciate any help!

I spend most weekends/vacation days trying to figure out my life and find a job I’ll like better. Then after awhile I convince myself that I have a good job and I’m a fool. All is well until about 3 hours into my first day back when the bs starts in again and all hell breaks loose. 🥴 Is this common? At what point do you know it’s time to leave?

Switched practice, found that I HATE the group dynamics. The work is dumb and not profitable. How soon is reasonable to ask to switch out, have to leave firm now?

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?

What are exit opportunities for people in TAS? Is it much more limited than audit exit opportunities?

When is the best time to leave and go to another big4? I am at PwC and I knew the reputation they had and Some people said It may not be for me because of it. Ive been here a year and I feel as there right. My busy season is starting and I want to leave (not just because of my team) but as some of you may know getting along with the people you work with is a big part of wanting to stay at your job. I want to try to quit end of December and hoping to start a new position February.

If you left public accounting for an industry job, what kind of industry job did you take? What kind of company did you go to? Do you feel like your work is more meaningful/fulfilling?

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.

Are certs from Harvard Extension School worth the cost? Disregarding the intangible value “Harvard” brings on ur linked in profile?

Tax senior with CPA at small firm. Best way to get to Big 4 audit? (LA or OC) Went to non-target so little to no alumni at B4. I don’t mind the switch to a lower title since audit was always my preference and was never a fan of tax (stayed local for family).

Would love referral for B4 or PA in Chicago? Industry and Internal Audit exp here, CPA.

Anyone have any good book recommendations around building passive income sources/building wealth?

Just over 6 years in B4 financial services tax in PNW area. Mostly doing compliance work pumping out K1s and returns. Just got an industry offer at 155k 15% bonus and 100k equity (4year vesting). Fully remote position with occasional travel. Should I accept? I know it's a long shot but deep down I always had an ambition to pursue PA to see if I can make a partner. Please share your experience.

Any helpful advice for FAR. I'm taking it next week

What do managers and above think about seniors with expensive shoes and handbags? Thinking of investing in a very nice everyday bag.

currently in tax, thinking about trying to switch to advisory. anyone done this and have any advice? would i get a pay cut and/or lose my senior associate title?

If I’m getting dragged heavily for my performance and am completely overloaded with work, is it best to start looking for another job? I suspect I might get PIP’d this summer unless our abysmal staffing issues prevent that.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
