Currently I’m a CPA at a small firm in AZ, and I want to move to Vegas by the end of May. As such, I have 2 questions:

1. How long will it take me to find a job in LV?
2. When should I start looking?

Apply soon. Get Vegas people from here to refer you to their firms. Big 4s love the new blood of CPAs from other places !

Depends on the need and now

A bit more background on myself.

My firm works with small SEC-Reporting clients. Also, I’ve been a senior for about a year now. Lastly, I’m hoping to land an SEC reporting accountant role within industry, or jump ship to a bigger firm (top 10).

Besides the casinos obviously and Zappos, what are the other B4 clients there?

@TA 1: Funny you say that. A former employee of my firm works at one of the Big 4 out there. I’ve been thinking of reaching out to him, however, I’m not sure how confidential he would be.

In fact, I’m certain that he would probably out me and put me in an awkward position here in my office.

Vegas offices kind of steal work from other offices as they don't have enough local clients to keep them all busy.

I guess it’s time to start hustling now then. I was going to wait until the first week of April to get on it.

Thanks, fam.

Why are you waiting? If you made your mind up....go look.

I’m looking, dawg. Recruiters are already apprehensive...”Your background looks great, but your timing isn’t the greatest. Being 8 weeks out or so is a bit tough.”

More or less the feedback I’ve been getting.

Which firm are you wanting to go to?

I’m open to any firm in the top 10, honestly. My hope is Big 4, but I understand it’s a small market.

Hmm. We always have a high demand for people at Deloitte in Vegas, not sure about the other firms. Plus I like my office here :)

Do you now? Is there a demand for people in audit coming from a smaller firm? Catching my drift? :)

Considering that we’ve had fly-ins during busy season, I would say yes!

Struggling to get work at a free market firm after lateraling. I was very well liked at my prior firm and had high hours so really struggling to understand why folks don’t seem to want to come back to me with more work. For those at free market firms, how frequently do you have to ask for work? How do you typically ask? Just send partners emails asking if they have any deals for you? Thanks y’all.

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously). For instance, he forgot something non-work related, said “sign of old age”. He recently told a story, said, this is how old people talk. He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?
