Has anyone made the transition from Audit in one B4 to Accounting advisory in a different B4 as a manager? Curious to hear if anybody has done it and how did that go.

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.

Anyone know what kind of experience or certifications I should be aiming to get if I'm trying to break into a pentest role? I just graduated last year and have about a year of sysadmin experience and am trying to get into it asap. So, I'm already applying/job hunting and probably won't get much replies but. Should I be looking at more security analyst/admin roles first? Going for certs? Getting a masters? Wondering what I can do to improve my chances. TIA

I joined my company as a BI- Analyst and now they are teaching us SAP HANA (DATA MIGRATION). Is it good start for a fresher??

How does base compensation vary across the accounting advisory roles in big 4? PWC CMAAS, EY FAAS, KPMG AAS, DT advisory. Specifically for senior managers.

I have a burning question. I have been teaching for over 18 years, which is something that nags me to no end.

Suppose you agree that the provided professional development offered through our districts is ineffective. Why not invest in your professional development by seeking a coach or mentor or even pay for professional resources that would help? To put it plainly, why don't we educators invest in our professional development?

I am stuck in IR purgatory. I hate IR. I started off my career ten years ago as a deal guy. Then my firm asked me to shoulder IR responsibilities as well. Now I am finding each job I change to promise “you will do both IR and deals” but it’s always a lie. The firms just want a fundraiser. Deal people are more plentiful. How do I get out of this trap?

Has anyone here transitioned to a software engineer from pre-sales? Verdict?

I have an interview tomorrow to work at a fintech startup. I'm slightly worried as I'm not sure what it'll be like working While they use functional programming which I enjoy, I'm concerned about how much pressure I'll be under.

What is it like working at a fintech company? Is the salary at a fintech company typically higher than other tech jobs? It'll be higher than gamedev, but just wanted to learn about whether the pressure will be worth it eventually etc.

Could anyone share ISSP certification study guides or general info?

Transitioning from biglaw to IRS Chief Counsel?

Hi all, has anyone here transitioned to Chief Counsel from biglaw? What was your experience like? When did you transition? Any tips or general comments?

Current jr. associate. Love tax, not loving biglaw. Have an llm. Looking to transition in the next few years (or earlier if possible).

Thanks for any help.

If I accept the promotion to Partner/Principal what's the least number of years I could work without it being a financial mistake. I have an opportunity to do something completely unrelated that's my passion, but I feel like that's the wrong decision when I'm this close.

The other opportunity should still be there for 2-3 years

Are there pointers for exit strategy from consulting in the US to industry job in Africa? Which countries and industries are best for that move?

Looking to get away from transactional sales and more into consulting. My current role is very heavily transactional sales, but requires me to act in a consulting role also. I love the consulting part of the job. Anyone have advice on breaking into the field? Happy to DM. Thanks all in advance!

How do you get into AB testing? I’m in data science would like to get that experience.

hey folks, does anyone have advice on how to leave a company that you just joined? I’ve been at my agency for barely two months before getting an amazing offer elsewhere. How do I leave? Should I leave before or after the holidays? My team/boss are SO nice, and I’d hate to burn a bridge.

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.

What are the good exits for Senior Managers? I keep hearing how people leave for 2x their salary.

Please, share some tips to deal with work stress. I'm getting crankier more than ever with the huge amount of workload. I was not like this, but I'm so tired of the mentality "Send it to Paul, he can solve it" (Paul is my fake name). New hireds cant do the job, old seniors are quiting like birds...

How is the work life balance at Globant?

Does anyone else have issues knowing when to stop working or managing their work-life balance? I get emails and requests at all hours and I always respond but I'm wondering if it is time to set up some boundaries and start ignoring requests after a certain point at night and on the weekends?

For those who observe - hope folks are having a great Good Friday and heading into a great Easter weekend! For those that don't, hoping today is a little quieter and you can recharge this weekend!

Are people still live on here? I was diagnosed last year with ADD and I’ve tried two stimulants so far. I know they aren’t meant to be a magic pill but I’m still struggling with general tasks and feel like I’m doing the bare minimum. The Nurse has suggested I try non stimulants. What are peoples experiences with meds ? Did they work or not?

Hi fishes,
I would like to know the career progression of senior engineer at Mercedes Benz R&D, bangalore. Is this a good role ?

Amazed to see how insecure/threatened these SMs feel when they figure client values ur opinion as well!

IBM 🐠, are you guys hiring for the healthcare practice? For associate level?

I’m in my 2nd year in audit. I want to pivot into management consulting within a big 4 or MBB. Has anyone seen someone make this lateral movement? I’m not sure how feasible that is and what steps to take. I’m also down to discuss further with whoever is comfortable in connecting.

Is applying a few days before the “Apply by” date too late? Do most decisions get made early on/they don’t wait for all applications before interviewing/hiring?

Has anyone jumped from audit in Canada/US to the UAE recently? I was chatting with a mentor and they said, you get paid significantly more, and you aren’t taxed. Checked online, the salaries are probably 20% higher - not worth the move IMO… Anyone make this move and can share their experience?

Gave my notice, HR pushed my term date up, then goes back on what they said because they realized they needed bodies to help out. 🙄 like why didn’t you double check with the scheduler and teams earlier. literally stated it in my email too. I can’t wait to leave 🥳

Does anyone have experience with the University of Washington (Foster) hybrid MBA program?

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?

If you receive an offer how can you ask for more time other than the two weeks to give notice? I would like a week or two to myself before I start working for a new company - is that too much to ask for?

What is the courtesy of withdrawing an offer you already accepted?

Anyone know what The Kraft Group & Affiliates tax or finance team interview process is like?

Is it worth it to play the long game in public accounting (partner track) or to transition to industry and potentially become CFO, CEO, Controller role?

Learning my next firm is investing in it's employees learning to use data analytics (Python, SQL, etc.) and data visualization in IT audit and internal audit.

Wow, EY is so behind.

I'm an A1 and want to move to industry. would anyone be able to provide a referral to Salesforce or Slalom? I'm looking at a couple non-client facing roles there

Leaving for industry for a large pay bump. Don’t want to go back to PA. After you leave, how do you: 1) stay current on skills? 2) continue to achieve pay increases? 3) get guidance on regulation when you don’t have firm guidance?

What matters more to you when finding a new job - title or total compensation/money?

I have 2 years of experience in Financial Services External Audit. However am currently looking for exit opportunities, any suggestions?

Anyone gone from PA to CBRE ? Do you like it ?

Leaving EY in a week. Is there anything specific I should do/ save before leaving?

How bad does it look to quit without anything lined up? My goal would be to build skills I need to learn in order to pivot to an industry I’m more interested in and to build up my resume. Just wondering if not being employed will kill my employability

How hard is it to get into an investment bank for risk? Doing market risk related work (FRM)? And what kind of salary would you be looking at from entry to associate (senior) level ?

For those that work at big4, does maternity leave benefit only kick in if you’ve worked for the firm for at least a year? Or does it apply immediately?
