Hello,

 

I see all the terrible reviews about the B4, and I don't really

care to add them to my resume; however, it's killing me when looking for new roles, so I want to transition to get it over with, if you will.

 

I'm at a senior accountant level, MBA, and no CPA - planning to

sit in the next few months. Can anyone recommend which B4 I should look at and which to avoid?

 

Also, I'm in need of a referral.

 

Thanks!

My experience at PwC has been great. Your experience at any B4 will be heavily influenced by your specific job and team. I definitely lucked out. Let me know if you’d like a PwC referral.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!

Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.
