Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Whew! That was a long one. I feel like spending over 10 mins on the line with customer support adds a bit of irritation which could turn unpleasant when issues aren’t resolved.

Posted in a different bowl but no one from tax responded. How long did it take you and what level did you reach milestone base salaries ($100k, $150k, $200k)?

Once a vaccine is found (assuming it'll be in the next 12 months) how long do you think it'll take the economy to rebound?

How do you tackle ignorant managers and favoritism in the team ?

So sad to see my beloved Cooley becomes a laughing stock. I still remember the day that a classmate of my 7-year-old thought I am a food delivery guy. Can't blame him cause I was wearing a jacket with a large COOLEY logo. He just learned the word "Cooler" the day before.

AWS Engagement Managers (or even Senior EM) pay/benefits in Canada if possible (if not, US is fine with COL mention) ? Can anyone compare to Big4 ?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

What softwares do you guys use ?

Difference in working in house for an insurance company vs for a firm?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Anyone else on public accounting an ENFP? Is it just me or is this career a struggle with thus personality type? 🤦🏻‍♂️

What’s a good wireless printer?

Ever since Risk Assurance busy season ended, I feel like I’ve been kind of coasting. I’m still getting all my work done but my utilization is slipping. With CRTs coming up, how worried should I be?

When taking an exam for the cpa, is it done on a computer with a keyboard with a numpad and you do all your calculations on an onscreen calculator? Or is it done pencil and paper? Trying to decide on a new personal laptop and wondering if I should get one with a numpad to get used to punching in numbers or just a small one without it.

How do i see my utilization?

Would it be terrible of me to quit during my rotation’s busy season? I got put on a mandatory rotation this summer (PwC is big on pulling resources especially now) but I’m really ready to get out. They stress being a “team player” and I have a feeling they will use this against me when I try to quit.

Based on the most recent accounting exit opps post, can we get a trash talk going on recruiters you hate? I need some dirty gossip!

Anyone want to sell me their CFE books ?

Can’t relate to my team members because we have almost nothing in common, as in I don’t drink/have any funny drunk stories and don’t keep up with college football

What the hell.... new office Chicago and you already have to change things up???

What did you learn this year?

Just joined the inclusion council in my office. Any good ideas for a fun office event??

Always nice to get the message about how well the firm did last year AFTER getting a sad salary increase.

There’s a SM in my office who I really enjoy working with. He is very down to earth and level-headed, which always helps boost team morale. I want to show my appreciation and/or try to work on...

Who is more advanced in term of technology used? Deloitte or PwC? Why?
