Does your job slow down over December? Mine does, which I’m grateful for. I’m curious how others are.

For the most part… I’m done with my annual reviews, so it’s just calling my clients to wish them happy holidays… if they need anything let me know, most don’t… we’re having a client event on 13th… company Holiday Party on the 19th… I’ll be on vacation from them until the 6th…

But my team knows they can reach out if it’s pressing… but the office will be a ghost town…

Mine slowed down pretty hard over the last two weeks. Although we're not dealing with as many clients, I'm still managing my team and there's plenty to do there between handling time off requests, annual reviews, etc.

Very much so. It usually starts around the beginning of November. By the time we hit December, everyone is in "let's circle back to that in January" mode.

Not really. I am just doing everything I can to not drown. Report requests come in like crazy due to people wanting last minute info before they leave for Christmas.

The workload doesn't slow down, but we do. Productivity disappears after Thanksgiving. I genuinely try to stay on task, but the burn out is very real and we're all tired.

My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

Recently relocated to USA. Looking for a job in Private equity Accounting in California as Fund Accountant Manager. Any leads and also, how much salary should I expect?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
