Has anyone started and completed their CPA while working full time? My service line doesn’t require it for promotion but I want to start the process and finally do it.

Career dev advice needed. Being offered a promotion (would be reporting to my current skip and managing/growing a team). The role is global subsidiary management/governance. But the work does not appeal to me, I’ve been doing some of it and it’s so much admin and people management. I’m not practicing law at all. Love my current IC role and manager, get to work on strategic transactions and closer to the business. If my goal is head of corp legal one day, should I suck it up and go for it? Thnx!

I’m a newer registered nurse (2 years) and want to get into remote work.

For these remote companies where I don’t have connections how can I transition over?

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization.

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.

Any B4 IAM consultants make the move to Accenture?
