Any quitted big 4 right after a year? I got delayed with good rating but with the reason of not getting enough experiences (I took 3 months study leave). I also got assigned to busy files and for 70% of my file I worked till 10/11. Since WFH starts I completely lost the boundary of work/life and got depressed.
I realized it's not the life I want and I got burned out and cried all the time. During COVID I realize it's hard to find a job... any suggestions? I can't hold on anymore

I see people in here don’t know how to give helpful advice at all. I’ve made the decision to just put my foot out of the door. I’ve voiced my concerns to the program manager. They were ignored. I think I’m willing to take a pay cut to get my life back. I work 100-125hrs a week I also work 7 days a week. The hours aren’t the issue. I’ve done it before it’s the fact that I miss having my weekend nights off. It’s a drain mentally . So here I begin a new job search .

Hi SGians/Fishes...I have still 29 days remaining to join SG and got a better offer letter ...I am double sure about joining SG only....does SG re-negotiates after accepting the offer letter.??

Can someone explain to me why biglaw firms don’t “review up” and have junior/mid level associates evaluate senior associates? I understand partners have no interest in hearing the minions gripe, but wouldn’t it be valuable to know if your senior associates—seeking to enter your partnership are good managers and not complete a**holes? I’ve had so many projects mismanaged by clueless senior associates lately and it seems like juniors/mid levels bear the brunt of it, but there’s no recourse.

I am in a counsel role at an AmLaw 100 firm. Was contacted by a recruiter about a counsel position at a V50, but they want my law school transcript. I graduated from law school 17 years ago. Is this just about confirming I actually have a degree or are they actually going to look at my grades?

Some new associates have done such bad job that no senior wants to give them work. Those people get to go home at 4 and other associates have to take additional projects. It seems very unfair

Hello! I’m new at PBL learning. Where can I find already prepared lessons? I’d like to use other teachers’ successful lesson plans before I try to create my own.

As a general rule, how bad is it to test out the waters by applying to a job, getting the offer, and then rejecting it -“now’s not the right time” - while staying at your current company? Blacklisted?

What’s S3 salary for PWC CMAAS in LCOL?

I’ve been working in audit at PwC for about one year and have done two different busy seasons, and I’ve realized I’m not passionate about what I do. I’m thinking about leaving/transferring, but I have no idea what I can move to that isn’t audit. Does anybody have any recommendations as to what I should be looking for next?

Currently a senior in financial services audit for wealth and asset management. All I hear from higher ups is to not leave before manager because I’ll end up making less or I’ll be behind in my career, etc. Am I being served some strong kool aid? Hoping someone has been in a similar situation and successfully left.

Besides FAANG companies, what companies (public or private) are generally the highest paying for accounting/finance positions (taking into account COL as well)

How long does it usually take to hear back from a job you applied for? I just applied about a week ago but I’m anxious 🤣. Before I always applied for job in PA and the recruiting process is always quick (hear back/ have final offer within a week). Not sure if it’s the same case for private. TIA!

Let’s hear some salary expectations! I could really use some help regarding a offer I received.

Years of experience: 5
Job title: Accounting Manager, focusing on production.
Company Profile: Mature Start-up, ~200 employees
COL: medium to high (think Atlanta, Dallas).

When the job description states "build the team" that is probably a clear indicator that they are not staffed and whoever they hire is going to have to network and recruit to fill positions, right?

Is there anyone who works in accounting but also a part time real estate agent / broker? How do you balance your two careers?

How do you know when you should accept a job offer? I’m struggling with an offer I currently have - the whole package is pretty decent and I got along with the people I interviewed with. However, they were all 10-15 years older than me so I’m not sure how that will work out for me in the future. I’m also not completely sure if I want this job since it’s an area of accounting that I’m not familiar with, but at the same time I want to leave public before busy season.

What are some permanently remote tax positions for seniors? Where do I start looking? TIA

Are you better off at a mid tier or smaller If your goal is to be in public long term. Most discussions here talk about exit opportunities into industry for Big 4.

Anyone had any luck using their firm’s internal career mobility programs?

How can I make myself marketable as a current B4 tax S1, wanting to go to a CPG company, doing more of a finance analyst with a supply chain or marketing group?

Thinking about leaving Big 4 and going into internal audit (currently about to be a Senior in Assurance).

I like working on controls/SOX much more than substantive. I thought about switching internally to advisory and doing internal audit but not sure what the best move is.

I don’t see myself ever doing a technical accounting role or any financial accounting roles. Ideally I would like to transition to more business operations type of roles throughout my career. Any advice is appreciated!

just turned in my laptop. so long folks 👋🏽

Are most people still targeting 20%+ increase to jump from public to industry? I found a job that seems kind of interesting but it would only be a 10% jump, which will likely be my raise in public this year. The recruiter said 8–10% is pretty typical in my area.

Hey guys, looking for some much needed motivation and advice. I have been applying almost everywhere to get out of public, but with not much luck. Coming up on almost 2 years of experiences and have my CPA.

So glad I’m leaving public!! Interesting timing but never too late
