Who is currently hiring entry-level OCM consultants? My close friend studied communications and organizational change, but found their way into logistics. They are looking for opportunities and I think they would be a much better fit as a consultant. My company’s hiring cycle ended so I’m seeing if I can help point them in the right direction before next year. Appreciate any pointers on certs that might help too! (I’m in analytics and not as familiar) Thanks!!

Screw CFA lol

Curious for those in public accounting right now….are any of you open to leaving still with busy season coming closer? I know when I was in public, I was hesitant from 1/15 until 4/15 but wasn’t sure if this is still the norm? I want to be respectful and not reach out to people if it’s too late as to not tempt them if it would look poorly on their resume. Would love your advice!

I’m currently doing IR work but would like to do something more on the technical side (ie: more forensics or technical). Does anyone know if forensics firms or any firm that offers a mix ? I have both a Cipp-Us and cyber/ Sec+ certs.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Hi Fishes,

What should be the CTC for Senior Product Analyst Role in Global Risk and Compliance (GRC).

Having Total 9+ Yoe

So there's a lot of chitchat about people being fired/laid off for the wrong reasons but does anyone actually know of someone who got the boot for the right one? I figure that some of these separations must hold some validity

Why are potential business happenings by a candidate’s kid disqualifying but (gestures wildly) for the other candidate not for TSers? Going to your resort, conducting federal business at your property, having foreign officials stay, not doing a blind trust, being granted trademarks/land deals in other countries, promoting your products/books in office, calling out other companies? Stop pretending you care or advocate for anything good/true.

So everyone who feels under valued/compensated raise your hand 🙋🏻‍♂️

What would be the target base for SM level at EY and PwC? 9 YOE and DC area.

How are people networking in the entertainment law space during covid? Mainly curious about the music industry.

Got an offer at a boutique firm, they are offering mid-100k (3 YOE, but I’m retooling). Great opportunity (like, I really love everything about it), and I’m prepared to take a pay cut, but the salary seems especially low. Any insight into what talent-side boutiques are offering in high COL areas (LA, NY)?

Thoughts on the Keto diet?

Unhappy with my job (Audit)-- what does everyone have their sights set on after putting a few years in? I don't know what I want to do, but also don't really know what's out there.

Are you going to year end Christmas party?

Is anyone familiar with P2P (purchase to pay) role? The position will work on account monitoring , reconciliation and implementing processes. Not the transactional side of paying invoice. More of a reporting role. I’m just trying to get a better understanding of what the day to day would be like. Any insight ?

Anyone here works in PwC PCS in New York? How’s the culture/hours?

What's the average salary for Staff accountant per year?

Do all big 4 firms “even out” experienced hire salaries over time?

Is financial reporting a work life balanced job with decent pay? Current an audit manager 1 thinking about leaving public accounting. FR folks, What is your hour and pay level?

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

I moved from CA to WA, do I transfer my CPA through interstate reciprocity or another method? Which state will I submit CPE to in the future?

What are good methods to find out more information about PE shops. Most of their websites are blank or you can’t see anything without login information. Please don’t respond google, as it doesn’t come up with anything substantive.

Do big4 directors retire with the same benefits as partner or some other?

Does anyone have any good books or podcasts about how to develop leadership/ managing skills?

A Partner asked me to “monitor” her Outlook and gave me access. Basically the ask is to delete or “read” unnecessary emails/forward work to managers/forward invites to her admin. Is this normal? Never had to monitor someone else’s Outlook at my previous firm and this feels like an admin work. I am a new experienced hire (S3) FYI.
