How to succeed in public accounting these days if not an uptight Type A workaholic? Especially at manager or above. I have a real life and interests/identity outside of my job and I don't freak out over the slightest mistakes in workpapers but those seem to be who public accounting is for - especially these days. How do I succeed without letting the job take over my life or change who I am as a person?

We need to STOP glamorizing overworking. Please.

The absence of sleep, good diet, exercise, relaxation, and time with friends and family isn’t something to be applauded.

To many people wear their burnout as a badge of honor. It’s time to consider pivoting.

And it needs to change.

Many people ask the question: How do I get started in Esports? The answer is pretty simple. The first step is to start small and work your way up. Beginning with lower-tier or less popular games at a local level will allow you to get a feel for what it’s like to be an Esports player and start building the skills needed to move on to bigger and better things.

Do we want to have a thread for vouchers to exchange?

Hi all,
How much one should get for 6years of experience with Java backend with microservice and hibernate ?

Would love to get insight from folks here as I’m not quite sure what to do. I currently have around 14K in student loan debt and enough saved up to pay it off in one fell swoop. What I’m struggling with is whether I should invest that money into the stock market (thinking less risky S&P 500 ETF) and pay off my student loans monthly with the average payment being around 1000 so I can pay it off in about 16-18 months (due to interest being around 5%) or pay it off all in one go?

COVID-19... Curious what LA BigLaw thinks about the possibility of Diploma Privilege or a postponed bar exam here in CA? NY decided to postpone despite significant potential consequences (see thread)

Why do people accrue prepaid expenses?

Only senior on a demanding client, managing multiple staff and managers. I really like my team and the work but I’m starting to lose motivation and burn out after the long time being the only one in my position here... and I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but feels like I don’t get fairly paid for the amount of time and effort I put in... any advice to get out of this negative mindset?

For the NY CPAs out there- how long did it take to receive your license? I submitted my application in late October (incl. transcript, work experience form, etc.) but haven’t heard anything. Is this normal?

Does industry have billable hours? At the big 4, we are required to work a certain number of hours each week and if we spend too much time on anything we are questioned on why it took so long. Is that a thing when you go in industry?

Are budgeted hours as big a deal at Big 4? I've legit been asked why I charged 8 hours one day on a client I was assigned 40 for the week. It makes it difficult to hit utilization targets too

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Curious about PA M1 bonus. IA to be precise. What’s the percentage?

Just got a rousing pep talk from my partner about how being a partner in public accounting is the “greatest career anyone could ever dream of”. Feel like he’s still trying to talk himself into it, too.

How many people get promoted to S1 from A2? Didn’t do well in A1.

At what point are you too specialized to lateral to internal audit? (PA, consulting, or industry roles) Currently have 2 years of external audit experience and 2 years of forensics: I always thought of internal audit as a decent exit but I’m beginning to get worried about getting too specialized to make that move one day

Do accountants in the tech industry make a lot for salary? Above average than other industries? Like Cali / tech
