Best advice I got in a mentoring session today "Make sure to put things on your 'don't do list' to keep you focused on the things that matter.

Don't put your clients or firm before your family. Family first. Tax partner I worked for lives this and reminded me of this when I would overwork. I owe that man a lot. He had stuck by me through thick and thin as well as assurance partner I work for currently.

Or is it better to wait until I exit to industry and pursue my interest in the military then?
Any and all advice appreciated.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Additional Posts in Public Accountants with Children

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Random question but do you let your kids hang out in your bedroom and use your master bath if applicable? My kids always seem to want to use our bathroom instead of theirs and my spouse doesn't care but I grew up with my parent's room basically being off limits and think I'd prefer it that way.
