For those who have left public accounting, what did you looked for in a new employer before deciding that was the one? Size, teams, working condition, job security, advancement ops?

We own a rental property that has appreciated quite a bit and have the opportunity to do a 30-yr cash out refi at 75% LTV that would leave us with about $200,000 at the end of the deal. Rent currently wouldn’t cover the costs and we’d need to deploy the cash and earn about $750/mo to break even. We’d ideally like to use the money to invest in other property and syndicates. Seem like a good idea? Not sure if we are over leveraging ourselves and it’s worth the risk.

Firms should really start lowering the mandatory retirement age in partnership agreements before these old out of touch partners drive the entire industry into the ground. These people legitimately think the high turnover we’re experiencing is caused by remote work and people “not feeling close” rather than insane hours and compensation 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Senior on a new engagement with new hires as staff plus an off shore team. I get IMs and emails all day from every direction and it’s getting overwhelming. It’s to the point where I feel like I can’t leave my computer even for a few minutes. I can’t get anything done during the day and I’m not sure what to do. Any advice for a worn out senior? I’m delegating and taking extra time to coach the staff but I still feel like I gotta do everything myself.
