Senior is the toughest position, do everything in your power to make your time as a senior as short as possible. Don't forget what it was like to be a staff. Be patient with the staff you work with and teach them what you know so that eventually they can do what you do and you can move up the ladder. Learn the style of your superiors as far as how much communication they expect regarding their projects.

Explain how to do the work to the staff up front instead of making them guess and they guess wrong. That's my interpretation of upfront coaching and I would recommend as well

Upfront coaching

What is upfront coaching and how would it differ from normal coaching?

My guess is that upfront coaching is PwC for setting expectations and following-up with those expectations throughout the audit.

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 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I have an offer doing pretty much my same job at a smaller firm. It’s only a 6% base raise but they are giving me a bonus each year to make up for the amount my salary falls short of the salary number I gave them that it would take for me to leave. Would you take the offer?

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?
