How long did it take you to fully adjust when switching public accounting firms? I feel like an intern again. It’s the same work but it feels so incredible different with just different formats and processes and technology. @

Depends on the firm. For example, when I started at PwC they provided no training and just assumed somehow you’d figure it out and then PIP you if you didn’t. That took a long time to catch on to. Other firms will generally provide some training and grace.

Yeah sucks tbh. But hey hopefully your pay increase was good when you moved

It’s hard. You should feel acclimated after a year, although sometimes it’s more like 18 months. It helps once you’re repeating your PY work on a client vs everything being brand new.

Im in 2nd year of MBA. I took out a federal loan for tuition last year and again this year, but for some reason my loan for the 2nd year has not disbursed. Im trying to figure out why but I do have savings and can pay the 2nd year tuition (with about half of savings). Should I just pay it instead of trying to get the loan?

I’m curious how long people were in the peri menopause phase? I’ve read it’s an average of 4 years but I’m curious what people’s experiences are. I believe I am late stage peri menopausal and my periods have been very irregular for the past 9 months ranging 13-60 days between periods. If anyone has any studies you could point me to, I’d love to see those as well! I’m 40 and my mom entered menopause at 41.

I started in the industry in 07 for an institutional trading desk and then the recession hit and I got out of sales for management. I was in insurance sales for 2 years prior. 15 years in, I am 100% burnt out and currently taking a 2 week vacation. My wife and I are discussing moving to a new city to get a fresh start but I don’t know if I want to continue my MD path or to leave the industry all together. I’m seriously considering using cash/loans to buy a small company and run that. Thoughts?
