Does being in accounting make you more detail-oriented and organized in other areas of life, for instance, meal prepping, planning out work outfits for the week, etc, or do all your skills stay back in the office once you leave it, like mine do? I feel like the stereotype about accountants follows me around everywhere but I definitely don't fit the bill! What about the rest of you?

Oh no, not me either. I'm so forced to be perfect at work that I want to sit back and not worry about that at home. Thankfully my husband is amazing and allows me that life.

I am the most disorganized accountant you ll meet

I’m very type A and so that’s why I think this job suits me. The stereotype is real but not everyone fits it of course

Not the most organized person, I may not fit that bill either. I don't know many organized accountants. Lol

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Hello guys,
I have heard that most legacy systems specifically mainframes are being replaced and new technologies taking over for similar purpose.
How about employee like us who just started in this mainframe tech . Where will we end up if you stay in this.
Many of onsite leads tells that move of it as they are migrating larger part of it to new platforms but BU heads says it is going to stay for a long long time don't get panicked.
Can anyone let me know the real scenario.??
