I don’t drink at all during the week, but on the weekends I partake. Bourbon is my go to, but if I’m mixing I do Bourbon, then wine, then beer to round off the night while maybe taking a hit or 2 of Mary Jane

Last year, I went on a no alcohol challenge after a depressive episode where I was drinking every single day. I started this year with a couple beers after successfully completing the challenge. Let's just say I haven't drunk anything since then. I think I'm completely over it.

Yea a lot of people don’t realize it’s contributing to their misery, not helping it. Good on you.

I have never had alcohol. Even with 18 years in this profession, and 4 children.

None. I have other outlets though which I’m lucky to have otherwise I’d be drinking too.

I go through like 2 family size chip bags a week (trying to quit lol) and sometimes drive a 4 wheeler around the property.

I haven’t drank since graduating college (4 years ago). I have no idea how people can balance drinking with the demands of public accounting. If I still drank like I did in college, there’s no way I could hold down this job.

On average, less than one. I enjoy a drink as much as anyone else, but I easily go weeks without even thinking about it. I have bottles of wine on a wine rack in my kitchen...hubby and I will open one here or there for a game night with the kids. Or if I'm out with friends I might have one (out with friends is fairly rare at this point in my life). On vacation, I'll have a couple most days. It definitely not something I think about in my daily life, but if an opportunity presents itself, I'm in.

I know this is weird, but I am the one of those people who never really acquired a taste for alcohol so I only drink a little in social situations. I can count one hand many times I’ve actually been drunk so during the week I may not drink anything at all especially during busy season and I don’t have time to hang out with people.

Drinking frequently and heavily was one of the longest and worst decisions I ever made. Never really screwed up, but just generally felt bad, unhealthy, fat, etc…. I now only drink on the weekends (occasionally and lighter) or if I’m at a dinner with a client, I’ll get something to sip on, but I don’t even finish it. Feel so much better. Also, I haven’t tried this, but thc infused drinks I hear are great, with no hangover. Going to try

I have roughly 1-2 drinks per month when put to dinner. I'm more partial to the taste of coffee drinks and mocktails. I personally don't enjoy the bitterness or burning sensation of the alcohol taste.

Any interview tips for Project Manager roles in software development? I was moved to this role about 2 years ago and soon looking to jump to another company, but unsure of what to focus on talking about. I’ve tested the waters and the feedback from one interviewer who was generous enough to provide it was that I made myself sound like a technologist rather than a PM because I was too focused on the product and it’s details instead of the project management details.

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
