Feels hard to come by, and I’m sure it varies team to team but does anyone feel like their team/firm treats them fairly and you enjoy where you work? What’s the best firm out there?

I enjoy where I work, yeah. I wish the work was slightly more interesting though. It's hard to imagine doing this for 30 years 😆

In my experience, even in bad comp years I enjoy my teams at A&M. Very rarely have I worked with someone that I didn’t like or felt like our personalities clashed.

Really love kpmg. Obviously varies by office so not sure how much my feelings have to do about the firm or the office, I’d assume the office is a way bigger driver. M&A tax

Going to be totally team dependent, sorry you had a rough team

I enjoy my FDD team. Work is interesting and varied enough. The thing that will likely drive me away at some point is:

1. Private equity clients who know they have the leverage to push the envelope on both pricing and insane timelines.
2. Seems like we’re on the same bottom of the barrel path as audit in terms of pricing

None of this is specific to KPMG more so the nature of the job and industry.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
