For those of you who transitioned out of accounting/audit....what do you do now? I do internal control work but have also done regular accounting. I am a CPA. I don’t feel like my work is meaningful.

I left tax after 8 years, Manager, and transitioned to Talent/HR. The grass is much greener on the other side of PA when you’re not client facing and dealing with all miserable ppl that hate their current job in PA. Can’t believe I wasted 8 years in tax on something I hated and was brainwashed thinking working 80+ hours a week was normal.

Hi Fishes, I will be joining Capgemini, Gurgaon this October. I reside in East delhi. I have a couple of questions regarding the Cabs they provide.

1. How much time/ days does the transport team usually take to align cab for new resource?

2. My HR gave me a vague idea that it might take 2-3 days for the same. So, can I ask her or if you guys have any ideas, if I am eligible to get reimbursements for travelling on my own or booking an uber?

Please tell. Thanks!
