How can I interview for a forensic accountant position in one of the big 4 in LA? I don’t see any job postings for this type of service line. I’m an auditor with 4 years of experience and a CPA. I’m thinking to pivot to forensics.

Depends on what firm you’re currently at but I’d talk to your experience manager to hook you up with an informational call with a forensics partner at your current firm and see if you can transfer internally or do a rotation after busy season

Getting to and being in forensics is about networking. Work to set up informational interviews with people, ask them about their journey etc. once you’re in, it’s about your network to get staffed and move up.

Agreed about net working! Same boat as you. I’ve been an auditor for 4 years and a CPA, and about to finally transition into forensics. Started networking with forensics in 2022 and finally got the opportunity to switch service lines.

Still at EY yes!

How do I get into fraud and forensics? I’ve done traditional IA for over 6 years. Need a change.

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
