Once or twice a year. Three in a good year.

Yeah these days 2 things a year would be pretty good--an indicator that youre at a good place. 3 a year would mean you shouldnt leave that place (a fun irony).

Id be interested to hear from digital people on this--I could see it going either way, like there could be more work in general so 10% of it would be more--or you could work 6 months on one 360 project and have it turn out just okay.

Aim for two in a year. If you’re not getting that, maybe look around. Worth checking every 6 months too see what you’ve got

Your goal should be 2-4 solid pieces a year. It’s up to you to try and make each project portfolio-worthy.

Twice a year.

1x per year

Twice a year if you're lucky

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others). I don't want to rush and get it wrong. I avoid phone calls for this reason which isn't great when you're in the service industry so it's starting to impact my career.

Hello please join!

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
