How common is it when people work two jobs in the same field (accounting) and how big of a concern is it in terms of conflict of interest? If one does two jobs, how likely is it that both firms find out about each other? (One firm knows about the second but the second doesnt know about one)

It’s a huge concern and is prohibited for most firms.

It’s prohibited at EY.

Most firms prohibit it, and those that don't probably will after it comes to light because it's a huge conflict of interest.

The odds of getting caught depend on several things - the size of the town you're in, how high specialized you are, how unique your name is, etc. And one of your firms can burn you to the ground whenever they feel like it. So decent chance.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
