How would you respond to this? I work in tax and I have a coworker that comes by my desk literally every day and talks about how he needs to “grind” more, tells me how many hours he’s trying to hit, or declares he’s going to work late. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I’m not a part of that mentality. I just get my returns done and go home, I don’t eat sleep and breathe tax. Should I just keep smiling and nodding when he says this stuff?

Clever ways to get cheaper housing? What's your hack to beat the system?

Married, 2 kids under 3 yrs. Apartment is too small, but we can't afford bigger. Do we rent a 2-story house and split it with another family? Do we stay in our small apartment and get creative with bunk beds and storage solutions?

How can a family, with kids, and one crappy income ($82,000) get a comfortable living situation here?

How many hours will you bill this year? If you have ever been spoken to about needing to bring up your hours, how low were they?

Cross posted: Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-One LLC, so only one PPM
-Multiple investors that can be onboarded anytime
-Multiple investments that investors can determine whether or not they want to invest in
-One K-1 per investor based on their investments and income
-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.
To me this seems extremely cumbersome and would require multiple classes of (cont’d)

Has anyone got any good sources for understanding how biodiversity fits in with ESG measurements used in the finance world?

Have you ever taken a career slow down? I am feeling burnt out from COVID and the incremental responsibilities thrown my way over the last 5+ years. I feel like my health has deteriorated. I like my company, but I want to do less. I don’t need to be a HR Director, CHRO, etc. With a career slowdown, I am prepared for a lower compensation and would want decent benefits. Any lessons learned or success stories about career slowdowns?

Rising 2L here…Just found out yesterday that one of my top target law firms is not participating in OCIs (they don’t have offices in my state). Any advice on the best way to move forward with them? Still planning to apply, just want to know what I should be doing. Thanks!

Has anyone worked for Sentry Insurance? I’m being recruiting and I’m curious about their culture & compensation.

Can someone tell me if a HRBP III is more senior level than a HRBP I? I’ve never really dealt with those titles so I am a little confused!

Is Elon Musk's image finally breaking apart?

First year staff and I think this job is making my depression come back. I find no meaning whatsoever in what I do and just want to cry every morning thinking of going to work.

I am sex addict. I have to continue to remind myself that I am always in recovery. Had a major acting out a month ago, lost my fiancé and just taking one day at a time. That’s all I can do. Just remind myself so I don’t stop working

Is offer match a good idea?

When it's almost 5pm and you are finally able to start on the task you were supposed to spend most of the day on.

I literally almost threw my laptop. Didn't know I could be capable of such anger

How do you know if you’re considered a value employee?

Hi everyone! Please DM me if anyone is interested in joining BDO. Thank you in advance! :)

When is your tier rating for the FY18 locked in? Is your tier rating already official?

I hate to see good people go because of money. Why don't the firms just pay them more? It's almost impossible to find new replacement managers and so it would be worth it to pay up.

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

Anyone at big 4 get their real estate license? Did you get an approval to pursue?

How do i see my utilization?

Y'all leaving upper deckers in the toilet stalls need re-examine your life. How can it be so tricky to hit a12inch hole while sitting down? Bathroom is out of commission thanks to a serial squatter.

How do I actually go about giving 2 weeks notice?

Anyone else fantasizing of quitting right before busy season?

Is there anyone in real estate tax advisory that would happy to share what’s the work and daily operation is like? Would like to learn more about it!

If you put in your 2-week notice and they cut you off that same day for going to a competitor, would you still get paid for the remaining 2 week period? (Assuming it's the start of the period)

People in cmaas, how’s the WLB recently? Are you still working 50+ weekly?

I moved to private and they expect everyone in the office throughout the pandemic. I get my work done from home but am constantly called out about “hiding.” Is anyone else in accounting actually going into the office?? How am I the weird one here??

Jumped from public to a job in a place run by boomers but I just wanted out of public so I took the first offer that came to me. 5 months in and I realized it's not a good fit at all. Mainly the CFO thinks no one should be working from home, and working from anywhere but the office is considered a day off to him. Is this a good reason to apply for other jobs right now?
