EY-ers and KPMG-ers and Baker Tilly-ers… what’s your inside take on your firm and how they treat contract staff/seniors? If I’m picking samples all day and rolling workpapers for higher dollars - I’m in. If I’m an isolated in-charge with no resources/benefits getting stuck with the shitty of the shittiest clients/audits… I’m out. What’s the word?

Consumed with negativity and unhappiness. How do you stay positive when faced with unrealistic deadlines and mean managers!?

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).
I’m excited to make this jump, but it’s still bittersweet for me because the partners at my current firm are truly amazing and I have learned a lot from them over the past few years and will miss them a lot. Any insight on the best way to have this convo without burning bridges? Thanks!

Does anyone have tips regarding attending social events, such as happy hours with coworkers and express that drinking isn’t my preference?
With me being the only one on my team who doesn’t drink, it causes me to stick out, and others constantly question why I’m not drinking.

I know this is small dollars, but my firm only pays $25 per months for my cell phone. We all work remotely, so using cell a lot. Is it silly for me to push for full reimbursement? Is that pretty standard?
