Has anyone made the switch from big4 to a company like Google, Facebook, etc. Is it even possible to go there coming from an audit background??

I haven't done the switch to Big5 Tech but some people from our office/company are accountants, account executives, finance managers, brand managers, program managers, and product managers at Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. A lot of the people at our company will do audit though if they join Amazon

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal.

This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

Do you record your unbillable time? I have had conflicting responses. I have been told it's not good for efficiency calculations but others have told me if your still doing work let people know. For example, I get weird international stuff sometimes that not everyone gets (I think maybe? ) and I need to reread the 5471 rules or 8865 rules as I do the returns. I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
