It’s alot of project management work, issues logs, status trackers, etc. A successful project also requires a client that does what you say. We can outline a great plan but if middle management doesn’t perform, the project fails.

For those reasons, I prefer accounting advisory. Less fluff, more concrete deliverable, minimal dependency on client personnel.

If you like this type of work, move to finance transformation. If you don’t, move to CMAAS at PwC

I came from audit. I was so burned out from years of reviewing every work paper like my life depended on it and getting picked apart by internal and PCAOB inspection. It felt like our job wasn’t to audit but rather to prepare to be inspected. It’s still public accounting so it includes the things that Director 1 mentioned. But I always enjoyed the other stuff— building by-in from the client, troubleshooting with the team, project management, etc. Just removing that one toxic ingredient of beating every last detail to death in audit has made all the difference in the world. You’re actually helping the client and it’s a super-challenging effort. This is the most satisfied I’ve been in my career.

Hi everyone. I applied for a couple of roles at a tech company, I have a panel interview coming up but since that’s been arranged another HR coordinator has reached out to do a screening interview for the 2nd role I applied for.

How do I approach this, the screening call is a couple of days before my panel interview?
