Was working as an SME at cognizant.. got an offer for junior manager... Is it worth joining???

Recently tried to buy series-I bonds from the fed and they refused to allow me to open an account without getting a notarized form with my address on it. They say it’s a 13 week processing time, which really pisses me off. Two questions:
1 - would I be able to max out 2022 plus 2023 series-I investments if they were bought in Jan 2023?
2 - is the treasury pulling this shit with everyone? In efforts to get fewer people to purchase series I?

Currently half way through with my M.S. in Aeronautics specializing in Space Operations. I’m looking to continue furthering my education, but in a different field. Does anybody have any recommendations as to what other degree (different field) may go well with it?

Advertising podcasts: Are there any good ones? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Shoutout to the Parks and Rec cast and crew for pulling off an episode filmed entirely on Zoom!

I work as a salaried employee for a large holding company under a team dedicated to one client. I have been here just under two years. I never work. Like NEVER to the point that it’s become a bit of a joke. If I do, it is maybe 5 min a day. When I do actually work, it is very, very busy and it feels like 3 weeks of work stuffed into two days. However, the rest of the time I am free as can be. Does anyone else’s agency work like this? I really love it to be honest.

Do you listen to music when you work? What's your go-to when you want something on but also need to focus? Looking for a new playlist.

What are the best publications to stay on top of technology trends?

Yeee! So TCS gave 100% QVP for Q1, for C3A.. The news was correct..

A recruiter called me to give my job offer and the numbers she gave were so low that I counter offered my number on the phone itself. She said she would try but cannot promise me those numbers. Also where did I get those numbers from ( they were all well within the range )
I feel so stupid when I hanged up for my whimsical actions. What was I thinking

23, $75k salary, living in DC. I always max my Roth IRA and an trying to contribute 19% of my income to my 401k so that’s just over $20k saved a year. I can definitely live off the $55k a year but my question is, is putting that much money into retirement accounts that I cannot touch for 40 years unwise at my age & income level??

How do you say goodbye to a client when wrapping up year end knowing you're probably not coming back because they might want a cheaper firm. Without letting them know you know that's their plan lol..

Anyone have insights on Axiom? I’m seeing it’s quite a small firm , curious if there are advantages to jumping from established name to niche boutique

Thoughts on the Merck diabetes documentary A Touch of Sugar?

How do I connect my GDAX account with coinbase? Please help

I loathe tax, I want to work to live not live to work. Switching fields means starting all over again. I feel torn. Anyone have success stories? Advice?

Pls help! I’m updating my resume with the hopes of leaving the firm in the spring. How do I go about including the industries that I’ve worked in and that I’ve been on IPOs? Currently a staff 2 (started in the summer of 2019) and I’ve been on a total of 4 busy seasons and then the 2 IPOs. I also have about 5 years of work experience (incl accounting) prior to joining EY, so not overly concerned about leaving before promo if the timing works out that way

To my fellow foreign professionals - have you ever changed employer within 180 days from I-140 approval? Are you able to retain your PD? Please suggest if there’s another bowl I should post this. Thx!

Accepted an offer recently (last week) and haven’t heard back from the HR regarding a confirmed start date (we discussed dates but didn’t nail down in offer letter) or background check, is this stuff that normally takes time to get set up? Thanks

If I’m making 65k in my first year of audit, should I jump ship now before I reach senior for a job as a “senior accountant” with 85-95k comp? Or should I wait until I reach senior associate and then jump to the same 90-100k range?

More than likely receiving an offer for a more technical position than I’d like in my career. In short, I think it pigeonholes me into a role I’m not comfortable with and have little interest for.
How do I politely reject the offer when it comes through?

Has this happened to anyone? Where you go through the interview process - and they call you back saying you did great in the interview and that you'd be a great fit but the role has been filled. So they are going to pass you to other hiring managers and see if you'd be a good fit in the other teams? I'm so confused.

Have you ever given honest feedback to a company when leaving? For example the d&i initiatives leadership is taking has lead to joking about common racial stereotypes in office whenever an update is sent. I’m not used to those comments being said so freely for all to hear and fear they’d hire a minority (as part of those initiatives) in my place and subject them to that. I’m not sure what there is to gain but wanted to get other points of view.

Hi , can anyone please give ideals of role to be looking for A2 big 4audit , no CPA, want to transition into something different from audit. Also will be 2 years in October . Should I stick it out till then ? Or start looking and what role ? Thanks

2nd year assurance associate at a Big4 here. I believe my performance thus far could potentially lead to a successful career in audit, but I pretty much hate it. I'm not sure what else to cont...

Really interested in a job a recruiter brought me. However apparently the dept hiring and HR are now in conflict as HR wasn't notified the dept hired a recruiter and HR doesn't wanna pay the recruiter. Anyone experienced this?

What amount of money would you need to be offered from another company to leave (talk in terms of percentage increase in salary and include your level at the firm)? I’m passively looking and am curious what offer would be considered too good to pass up as an AY2.

I have an interview at U.S bank for senior risk analyst coming up. I am currently a senior audit associate which is a big switch I’m assuming. Any tips to prepare?

does anyone know where to get good resume review/help? Haven’t updated mine since college and don’t know what I still need on there or should take off

How hard is it to move from audit to internal audit / risk advisory? Are the hours better? Willing to switch firms if it’s easier to do so.
I do enjoy audit but this life is not sustainable.

Anyone mind sharing what they left PA for? Trying to get some ideas here, I’m in tax but would appreciate any non-standard exit opps too!

My glowing review, complete with the “It’s not a matter of ‘if’ you’ll make partner, but ‘when’” line, resulted in a $4,000 salary increase. For the third year in a row.

I billed 200 more hours than last year and earned another certification. Now at $76k in a low to mid COL area. Top 25 firm.

Is it time to jump ship?

Have a third and final interview for a senior accountant position tomorrow with the director of tax in industry. I previously spoke to the director and CFO. Is this is a formality? What should I expect? Any thoughts are appreciated.

On job descriptions are the years of experienced required section usually accurate or recruiters trying to get overqualified candidates? Let’s say I want to apply for a position that requires 4 but I have 3.
