Hello! Looking for some career moves advice. I love A&E, construction, and manufacturing industries. I want to pivot back into industry from PA with long term goal of becoming CFO. Had several interviews for accounting manager for global construction company. Went great but I lack more cost accounting experience. Would taking a sr project accounting position help or take me off track of the long goal? Would taking an accounting manager position in any industry help or not? TIA

My SO and I are touring a home tomorrow that we’re considering purchasing. With COVID restrictions + high interest in the home, we only have a 15 minute time slot to tour it. Suggestions on what things we must check out given the time constraint? We’re first time home buyers, so want to make sure we don’t miss anything critical during our tour

Is there an appropriate way to turn down an assignment because it is non-billable? Two of the partners I work for keep asking me to write client bulletins and articles with them, which is great, but now I’m starting to worry about meeting my billable hours requirement.

If you've worked at multiple FAANG companies, what's your secret?

Interview for a Data Analytics consultant role and have been told there will be white-boarding exercises. How would you prepare for this? I’m guessing it will mostly be SQL but don’t want to assume.

As a new product manager what books should I be reading? I’ve already read Inspired but looking or more. For context, I’ve joined a series A start up and as expected there’s a lot to do and it’s very fluid. I want to be able to help the head of product as much as possible as well as provide some structure to how we work.

Which certification will look better on a CV, a CSPO or a SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager?

Has anyone on here ever taken an unpaid leave of absence?

I seriously forgot what it's like to work a normal 40 hours. I've been working at least 50 hours (billable) since last summer due to staff cuts with my only breaks being thanksgiving and Christmas and some PTO sprinkled here and there. It feels like this is the new normal for a lot of people in public

Nervous to make industry jump bc I’m not an excel wiz. Obviously depends on the role but curious if anyone else in a similar situation?

If you left public accounting for an industry job, what kind of industry job did you take? What kind of company did you go to? Do you feel like your work is more meaningful/fulfilling?

Any ACCA students register for an exam using the new website? No combo of dates or locations ever works under 'Add Exam'.

Anyone hear talks of layoffs in Advisory? I know my office is laying off Assurance and BTS (Tax) staff but haven't heard much of Advisory yet.

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.

There's a ton of self help and leadership books out there to help people in their careers. If there was one that was written front the lense of a public accounting, would you read it?

When is the best time to leave and go to another big4? I am at PwC and I knew the reputation they had and Some people said It may not be for me because of it. Ive been here a year and I feel as there right. My busy season is starting and I want to leave (not just because of my team) but as some of you may know getting along with the people you work with is a big part of wanting to stay at your job. I want to try to quit end of December and hoping to start a new position February.

We stay until 8 or 9 everyday and then at the end of every week my manager tells me to book only 40 hours. It sucks ass and now I have to explain to my counselor why my utilization is so pedestrian...

What are some good investing books you'd recommend?

Is CMA worth getting after getting the CPA? Or is it better to get the CFA. Also don’t have much finance background so I don’t know if I can pass the CFA will require a lot of hard work. Interesting in hearing people’s thoughts.

I have no plans in leaving PA anytime soon but I figure maybe I should look into another certification that holds value and makes me more marketable compared to my peers. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.

- Also considering going to a t14 MBA in future.
