How is your guys’ WLB like these days?

Any recs for a casual men’s shoe that’s pretty versatile to wear to work when dressing down or just to wear on a night out?

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

Looking to move back to La in the Marina Del Ret area, any good apartment recommendations?

I have the opportunity to buy a new build in ATX for 310k at 5.625% 30 year. Should I buy it? I can either:
1) rent it out
2) sell it

It's not my primary and I don't need it to live in. The news about a housing market crash is worrying me. Any advice?

Freelancers: what umbrella companies do you recommend? Had a bad experience w/ Parasol & looking for alternatives (avoiding the LTD/sole trader route as I can’t be bothered w/ invoicing/accounting).

How much do CSOs in big ad agencies make?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

When do you find out if you are being promoted to manager at K?

Anyone who got immigration medicals done in the Bay Area for i-485? Any place you recommend? Do they take insurance?

Any male 🐠 getting their haircut done by themselves ? Or help from a family member. Looking for recommendation on a hair clipper

What happens in case your GC I-140 is approved with current employer and new employer don’t start GC process?

Makkaley, are we really going to office this June 1st??? 😰😜

Hi fishes,
I am planning to join Deloitte India, can anyone suggest me, is it the good idea to change from EY GDS to Deloitte India

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

I have got an offer from Wipro . Designation is tech lead and band is B3 . My joining is on may 26. Am I eligible for upcoming appraisal cycle ? Band b3 is good ?

I just graduated with a concentration in Environmental Policy. Any advice for someone who is interested in breaking into corporate sustainability/a related field?

Why would a prior audit firm want to reissue their report if it’s not required? Seems like a lot of unnecessary steps that the prior auditor isn’t getting comped for..?

What are some of the best certifications to obtain besides CPA?

Is there restrictions about side work you're allowed to do as a tas professional?
So let's say I wanted to get my Saul Goodman on and prepare tax returns for some side income. Would that be allowed?

Started in FDD as an S1 from audit a couple months ago and got put on a messy deal with just me and a director who is very “hands off” and I’m very overwhelmed 😅

Is it me or ARA in every big4 is hiring like crazy

Has anyone successfully established some boundaries with FDD? Or tried to communicate with your team a better work schedule? i.e. start earlier but get off earlier?

Anyone else here have terrible utilization because their deals die and a code never opens? /can’t find another code to book hours? I’m sitting on over 200 billable hours at this point

Super subpar SA in FDD, super subpar MBA, but can get a beer and talk to anyone… any trash IBs need someone with subpar smarts but high effort lol

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.

I just joined FDD for a few months as a senior and I was wondering how to network with the Partners/MD if I don’t have any project to work on at this stage? Even tho during the time I was on the project, I only reported to the managers, thus I have no visibility to the partners/MD. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone feel overwhelmed from all the data they have to format?

What laptops does your firm use? Specifically KPMG and other big 4. Is everyone using Lenovos?

How’s WLB for B4 or the like VAS? How many days in office? I’m at MM Top 20 firm looking to compare. Thanks 🙏

Just curious. Excluding business recovery / restructuring teams that are more counter-cyclical. What TS group do you think is the least cyclical? Valuation / modeling? Accounting advisory? Then lastly how “cyclical” do you view them?

Which big4 has best deals practice? FDD, M&A tax, etc

Differences in FDD at accounting firms (big 4, rsm, GT, etc) vs non-accounting firms (HL, A&M, FTI)?

Had some interviews with Deloitte this week in FDD was supposed to have 2 more next week but they changed scheduling and said 1 of the partners was busy and the other just wants to do a phone interview rather than video now. Am I being paranoid or is this actually a bad sign

Anyone have any insight on TAS @ Berkeley Research Group?

I know this is a google search away and have done so but curious as to what a typical day is as an A1 and SA1 from an employee’s perspective? How tasking, hours, skill set, and general expectation
