I heard Alvarez and Marsal is a good firm that pays well.

I’ve heard this as well but that salaries are comparable, but bonuses are much, much better

Do it. I left PwC for a regional. Best decision I ever made! I’m elbow deep in busy season right now, and I get home at the same time I did in the off season with PwC.

I’m also making more than my former managers.

Try for Big 4 FDD, only go for regional firms if unable to. There will be a significant difference between the size and complexity of deals you will work on, and the related networking opportunities. Boutiques like Alvarez are fine too, but generally a lot easier to get hired with big 4 fdd experience.

Need advice. Am in the middle of parental leave right now and my spouse and I are on the brink of divorce. Have only this 1 kid. Spouse doesn’t work yet, but can with earning potential around $50k. I make around $450k. No way I’d keep this job if divorce happens. I’d eventually transition in house so I can take care of my kid when I have him, but that won’t be immediate. How will custody work in that case? I want joint, but how do I take care of him alone with this job in the meantime?

Any CPAs here that studied and took the GMAT after licensure?

After the hell of passing all 4 CPA exams what I've read so far about the GMAT honestly makes it sound fairly straightforward in comparison, but I don't want to let my CPA ptsd influence me into underestimating it if it's way more demanding than it looks on the surface.

How do you not care / stress way too much about your job? I am a mom and stressed out most workday evenings thinking about the work / interactions during the day. I have heard TEd talks about compartmentalizing job vs personal life , mindfulness etc , but I don’t change. I could literally leave my job & focus on kids alone & be fine as husband is in a executive position. Yet, it’s my own career focus & my self induced stress and pressure that takes a toll on me. What’s your advice for me?
