“Who cares if it doesn’t work! You have to sell the vision!”

What type of background check do HF/PE/VC forms so these days? Employment, education and felonies are a given (I think) but is fingerprinting and drug testing still in the mix? How about credit score?

Can anyone send me invites/codes to the EY and KPMG bowls?

So a higher up made a new rule that for a service we offer , we have to offer it to the customers three times and If they say no a manager has to get involved and document. it is this not wrong?

I wish normal people thought what we do for a living is as cool as we think it is

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?

Any good/new halal spots in the bay?

I was just told to limit my time against pitching and planning a job to 3-hrs. Which is bonkers. They want timing, budgets and watch outs. Has anyone else experienced this and have advice on how to approach with the account lead?

How do I leave audit? At times I feel trapped thinking to myself there is no way life is suppose to be like this. How do you find the right opportunity? Everyone says network. But, how do I network? Do I just reach out to my peers asking if they’re hiring? I would love some stories on how others ended up leaving and used their network to find a job they enjoyed doing.

No action in my job search.... Been applying, but no takers. Too seasoned?? Do I need a recruiter??? What's helped others?

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

FAANG is now MAMAA (Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet)…Whoa Mama! As if there weren’t enough acronyms in our lives. Happy Friday All!!!

What’s the proper etiquette for telling your team that you’ll be switching service lines?

What's the average salary for Staff accountant per year?

So I ordered a 1 backpack and 1 desktop monitor on PwC’s IT order form. And I somehow got shipped 3 backpacks and 3 desktop monitors. The shipping center said I had to take them, but should cont.

Does anyone have any insight on the Sigfried Group? A recruiter reached out to me but it seems a bit too good to be true.

Leaving Big 4 for industry. Is it really bad if you don’t give 2 week notice?

2 weeks unassigned in may. Can I use PTO for those 2 weeks even if I haven’t accrued it yet? 1st year, and what are the cons of two weeks off? Like utilization. Etc

Had a glowing fantastic performance review last year. This year no review, just a meeting with managing partner and HR to tell me I am fired and to leave now. No bad performance. Is it just the money?

There's a ton of self help and leadership books out there to help people in their careers. If there was one that was written front the lense of a public accounting, would you read it?

Parking should really be reimbursed! Especially when its $20 a day.

has anyone had any luck leveraging an offer from another Big 4 to have your current firm match/transfer the new offer? specifically switching service lines

Public accounting firms that are hiring tax compliance staff/associates? Haven’t been laid off yet but the writing is on the wall

M3, MCOL, Tax, 7 YOE.
Considering exit opps in private equity for tax manager roles. With the market as it is what kind of range would you expect? PA pay is through the roof right now (based on recruiters and friends in other firms 160-170) so I'm not sure how that should compare to industry.

25 more days of hell 😀

I recently sign a lease. The apartment will put my security deposit into an interest-bearing account and requires me to fill out a form W9. I will join EY this June and just wondering if this is ok in terms of the independence rule. I guess the apartment will put my deposit in some sort of funds. Anyone with EY has experience? Reading the independence brochure, looks like it does not specify something related to this scenario but just wanted to confirm . TIA!

Hey guys, time sensitive question (need FSO input too). Got an offer from two companies. One is a large private company and I’d be doing their revenue rec and ASC 606. The other (cont.)
