Guessing this question is coming from non-big 4 firm partner, for mid tier this is a significant cost and investment to do public company audits, OP—may want to clarify non-big 4 in post for relevant insights

Correct. Should have asked non b4. Obviously b4 is not going to drop this practice.

Marcum is reducing! SEC and PCAOB are helping with that strategy!

At B4 as an audit partner I’m definitely not avoiding public jobs if I want to keep moving up the ladder.

I don’t see any B4 avoiding public co audits

Seems like “reducing book” or “avoiding” work is a hard way to move forward in your career. I certainly wouldn’t mind never getting inspected by PCAOB ever again. But hard to compete without it. I could see if you’re at a small firm avoiding taking on this work. But if you are a top 30ish firm with a sizable audit practice it seems hard to avoid unless you are in some niche markets like government or something.

Advice needed: seeing a psychiatrist first time to assess if I need short term medical leave to deal with anxiety. How did you guys start the conversation with your psychiatrist? What’s the degree of depression that requires medical leave or medicine? Don’t want to make a fuss if my problem is “normal” but neither want to overlook it. I had panic attack before flying back from a case that I thought I was dying...

Do you ever fear one of the companies you apply for will contact your employer and let them know you are considering of leaving?
