Anyone else feel like the office token?
Heading into busy season like
If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

Work friends are lost when you no longer work with them. Otherwise, they'd be friends. Duh
If they're your friends and you are still in the same city, I don't see why you can't be friends
You get new work friends. You keep some real friends. I did it. Not that hard.
What if you moved to a competitor, same service line? Bad blood, getting looked down upon? Just wondering the norm
No one cares if you move firms. Some people will stay in contact and the others you will lose touch with. Definitely harder to stay in touch but it is possible. I moved firms about 6 months ago and just try to make sure we schedule happy hours to stay in touch.
Your true work friends stay actual friends after you leave any job. The rest are just the people you fraternize with.
It doesn't look bad if you move. People move between firms all the time. If you lose your work friends, you were never really friends. It happens all the time. Sometimes it's hard to stay in touch, even being in the same city due to different schedules but if they don't make an effort or anything and you have, you likely were just coworker acquaintances and not friends like you thought. Same happened to me and many others. Life goes on.
