I figured it out myself because I’m at a smaller firm, so I looked on here to see who from my firm is on here. I didn’t go around asking anyone though.

Yes, and I never found out who

it was a marketing ploy...but i bought it hook line & sinker & I am enjoying being on here

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

I’m an auditor who recently made the switch to advisory. When I was in audit, I could predict my schedule.

Twice now, I’ve been told about last minute deadlines that have forced me to work over a weekend and late into the evenings, interfering with prior plans I had made. Is this normal in advisory?
