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.

Quit. It’s not worth it
You neeed to do what is right for you. The firm will do what is right for them. If that means they don't need you tomorrow you will be fires tomorrow
Life is short. Line something up and then get out.
Jump ship now. No job is worth sticking it out for if it makes you miserable. Your happiness is way more important! And who cares about being screwed. Do you really think they consider how convenient it would be when they discuss firing/laying off someone? Nahhh they just do it when they think of it. So why shouldn’t you!?
Look out for number one. Your mental health is important. Trust me if the firm lost your audit and didn’t have anywhere else to put you, they’d fire your ass without thinking of it
It will be a very uncomfortable conversation but the the upside is immeasurable as u will get your life back and stop being a slave that’s taking you nowhere. Lastly after you quit you will most likely never see these people again so Highly recommended...
I agree with the sentiments above. Don’t worry about reputation / burning bridges. You gotta do what’s best for your sanity.
Before quitting put laxative in the seniors coffee and f up his or her workpapers
January and February are the best times to find a job, currently waiting to see if an offer comes in, I interviewed right before holidays so maybe In the next 2 weeks I will have an offer and finally escape this prison.
If you're that unhappy you need to leave. I'm sure it's affecting your life way more than you think and it's probably affecting your work output as well. For everyone involved (but obviously most important for you), just jump ship and save yourself
It wouldn’t be the first time someone’s left your firm during busy season and it won’t be the last. I think you should do what is right for you.
Maybe wait, I felt like that last year and it worked out . Unless you hate your team too, I just had an issue with my manager, so I stayed through busy season But I was pretty checked out.
I would take a wait and see approach. First, have you spoke with HR and / or your coach. Perhaps they can help you transition to a more supportive and learning team environment. If you have spoken to these individuals and nothing has improved I would look for another job. However, I would keep in focus tax reform. At both Big 4 and at clients this is going to be a busy year regardless.
tell them you wanna quit and be honest why. see what theyre willing to offer you whether itd be a switch or some time off. if youre valuable to them they find something to keep you happy for a little bit. then use that time to find something else if the new deal isnt working for you
Major metro, it may not follow you. Something lined up?
I enjoy BDO and have no intentions of leaving but I spoke with 2 partners from smaller, regional firms and they both offered $12k/$13k bumps to leave and join them for busy season
And I’m only a 2nd year Staff
I hope I'm not you're Sr. Not that I mind catching the shaft- I just hope I'm not passive-aggressive.
Since October 2016 or 2017? I’ve been since Jan 2017 but still not ready to jump ship
@SM1 that’s hilarious. why didn’t I think of that before I quit?
