Does anyone know why it is frown upon to not want a client facing role? It seems like no matter the reason you give employers make it seem so bad to want to just work and not interact with a client. I love working and would just like to have work that I need to finish by a deadline and be left alone! I am over client facing roles and definitely if inbound 1st poc roles.

I think this is because our society values extroverted people and people who maximize interactions, perhaps

As well as the age-old question, are you able to work in diversified and varying environments with different cultural connotations. It can be frustrating for sure when all you want to do is work towards a deadline and be done!

The business of public accounting is serving clients

Transition to a Director of Finance or Controller position if you have an MBA in accounting or CPA. Your worst stranger encounter will be answering cold calls from Paychex or some other vendor.

Lol I totally feel you on this. After working with clients for a couple of years I was like “I’m cool” and people are like “What?! You’re so good with people!” I’d rather help internal folks server clients better than actually serve them. It’s too stressful lol

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
