Has anyone gone for the CMA after CPA? Worth it?

Good consulting books? Not talking case prep but a fun read about the industry and what it takes to succeed, etc. Thank you!

I'm considering switching my practice from tax to exec comp so that I can work remotely indefinitely. If I dislike it, do you think it would be difficult to switch back? I'm a 4th year that works in biglaw.

When you look to choosing a position to apply for and lets assume you get to be choosy - will you go for a org with big HR team or smaller HR team? Currently an hrbp for a medium global org with 10 hrbps in the Americas org supporting different groups/ regions like i support canada and a business group - looking at a role where hrbp report to sr hrbp and she reports to Vp of HR. The TA Manager reports to the VP of Hr as well. Sounds like a smaller HR team - are there any benefits to this move?

I have recently received an offer from HSBC for Data Engineer profile. The designation offered is Senior Analyst- Information Management. They said that it is a techno functional role.

I'm looking to switch from criminal prosecution to in house. I have a 13 year background in healthcare and white collar fraud investigations. I'm looking to limit litigation (I've tried enough cases) and hopefully increase pay switching from government.

I am getting summarily rejected from a lot of postings and I'm wondering if it's even possible to switch over. Anyone make the jump or have advice on doing work to make the transition?

Anyone here ever go through a late career change?

Has anybody else experienced (what seems like) irreversible physical damage from working long hours? I worked about a month of 19 hour days 2 years ago (this was the peak of the season where I worked at least 12 hours a day) and my facial skin hasn't really recovered and the experience really aged me.

Tricare Q:

Vets using Tricare with a family. I’m out and can use Tricare with the VA, but my wife and I each use our company offerings for our family; which obviously come at cost. Is it worth it to switch to Tricare? Has anyone done this and can share details? Positives/negatives?

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

What's say?

I’m trying to collect some supporting reviews/feedback from some of my stakeholders for an upcoming employee review cycle (we don’t do 360s). In the past these have been sent directly to manager but is there another way to collect them to present to manager/hr? Is it weird to ask them to send directly to me for me to present?

I’m exhausted from interviewing and caseing 🥵

I’m making 55k in Chicago. Am I underpaid?

Current consultant (boutique) with offers at a large ride sharing company (starts with a U) for Strategy/BizOps and a public company in their data consulting division. Obviously different areas, but the U role is seriously lacking in comp. Anyone else take/consider much lower total comp (~30% lower) to go to strategy/biz ops?

If you leave the firm (EY) do you get paid out for leftover PTO??

Don't be fooled. Recruiters never have your best interest in mind. Find your own dream job.

I wonder if we’ll still have minimum billable hours if WWIII breaks out

Any industry similar to public where you get to work on a variety of clients? I want to get out of public, but the variety of clients is what I’ll miss the most. Any thoughts?

I don’t understand how people keep posting about the bench and being unassigned. I’m in advisory(not audit) and my entire LoS is trending 90%+ utilization

Does anyone have any good books or podcasts about how to develop leadership/ managing skills?

My utilization is 90% but all of my clients are small jobs. Does that look worse than someone who works on the larger, higher revenue generating jobs with all else equal (utilization/performance)?

Anyone play of games here? Some overwatch or HOTS? I'm a gamer nerd

All our interns in our group that needs H1B didn't get return offer. Is that a firm wide thing now? EY didn't give offers to international students? That's really sad.

Does Big4 file H1Bs as premium?

Highlight of my 90 day Lead cycle has been getting 12 out 12 on the assessment after skipping through the independence wbl. Gonna add that as an achievement.

I lose FAR credit on 11/4 and only have 1 left (failed it in the last testing window). When's the latest I can take my last exam? If I sit for it on 11/3 and pass, then I'll be a CPA?

Public client seemed confused when I told them a copy of a JE and a one word description "void" wouldn't be sufficient evidence for the item selected for testing.

At first I wondered why everyone in my office was married to/dating each other. But now it makes sense, they're the only people you ever freaking see 😐
