Feeling the pressure to move fast while still trying to make thoughtful decisions. Wondering how others balance urgency with doing things the right way?

Any thoughts or suggestions

In audit it always feels like everything is urgent. I ask myself “what is the risk that we are trying to address? What would happen if we fudged this procedure?” I give more time to higher risk procedures.

Do it to the best of my ability within the time constraints. Also, figure out which things matter most and give those the time. Speed through the rest. Not perfect, but you do what you have to under those circumstances. Does your job reward doing things right, or just doing things fast? Feels like it’s neither where I’m at.

Thanks for your reply

I have the same, I think it helps to take a short break to reevaluate the situation then come back to it a few minutes later. Things are never that urgent and it’s more important you do the right thing than get it wrong.

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%. I eventually do want to cross the $300K threshold but I know stopping work for 2 years and getting and MBA probably won’t get me a $300K job right away. Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).
