Does it make sense if i want to apply for big4 for more exposure to other fields? I started a new accounting job last year at a mid size firm. Mostly working on individual tax, i tried to pivot to other teams within the company. But the managers kept pulling me back. The work that I currently have doesn’t seems challenging enough, and I’m extremely afraid that I’m stuck doing individual stuff. I really want to explore my options and field, so it’s easier for me to find out which field I like.

If you want a wide variety of experiences B4 is probably not the best option. They tend to make specialists early on.

Says who? I’ve been exposed to clients and roles in so many industries. Generally avoid the financial services arm, but in major metro areas, you can get exposure to a variety of experiences.

Absolutely! If manager is pulling you in, than there is very little room for you to grow. Try to get an exposure to a bigger firm with better opportunity.

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
