Can we talk about what we think public accounting is going to look like in 5 years? I think the shortage of seniors and the lack of good staff/associates is going to run the public accounting model to the ground. I know there’s been a huge push to offshore those jobs, but I haven’t seen it work too well in my 6 years of working here.

I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles.

Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience). I was told I am one of the top employees in the firm.

What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some clarification. This may be obvious and I might not need to ask, but what is the difference between senior managers and managers? Apart from seniority.
