Well my firm just let our staff know that if you run out of work after 10/15, let us know cuz we’ve got plenty more… yay! Not do some CPE or take some vacation time. Just don’t worry you’ll never have a free moment. Enjoy your 4% annual raise and $0 bonus!

Partners are liars. Maybe not even intentionally, because of tone-deafness and self-deception, but at the end of the day, they are just blowing smoke until this thing passes. They do not truly care about their staff, if they did we’d be paid more. What they do care about is their ability to meet client needs and take home their cut of the profits. So to answer your question, they are going to blow as much free smoke as possible to avoid salary increases at all costs. Other than maybe KPMG, who put their money where their mouth is, and gave out some cush raises, so kudos to them for that. 👌🏼

Stay woke fam. 👀

D1, it isn’t. But that doesn’t mean partners see that. If they did, they’d be instituting real change to prepare for the road ahead. Yet, most of us are still just getting smoke. 💨💨

My (recently) former firm tried to convince us that we should be grateful we had jobs and tried forcing everyone back into the office full time months ago and argued that we should be happy they chose to keep us “gainfully employed” for the year we were remote. Even better, they failed to tell the remote employees they hired while we were remote that the positions were only temporarily remote…

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range.

I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

I had a call w/ a recruiter and after hearing about the job, I *really* want it. But I’m worried I priced myself out of the role. I sent my resume/portfolio after and haven’t even gotten a reply that she received it, and I’ve followed up. I’ve been getting recruiter messages offering salaries up to 120k for copy/senior copy roles (which surprised me) so I gave 110-120 as a range on the call. She hesitantly said she thought 115 would be OK. But wondering if the salary could be the issue? Thought?

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.
