friendly reminder, the decisions we make and actions we take with this "just advertising" have the ability to affect the jobs and livelihoods of not just our immediate clients, but the people who work for the companies we make ads for.

take care.

I enjoy being passionate about the field I spend a significant portion of my hours on this earth working in.

Whenever someone writes that passion off using this phrase, I want say “Dude, I’m not going to force you to care more, so don’t try to tease me into caring less.”

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start?

I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.
