It’s starting to look like all of public accounting is a train wreck.

Starting? It’s been a train wreck for many years.

They are going against the grain and refusing PE and outsourcing. So hopefully clients want to pay more for their moral victory.

I agree equity investments are ultimately a bad move in the long-term; however, I think debt is a possibly a double-edged sword. It all depends on repayment terms after all, but as long as the company retains independence they can still function autonomously. I just can’t imagine a PE firm financing an ESOP with a billion in cash, without some hefty benefit towards them; just wondering what’s the long-term play, since it’s not like you can flip that leverage as you would an equity stake

CLA is less of a train wreck than BDO.

It’s not a train wreck. Maybe ask the people that told you that for some examples. They don’t pay top dollar for talent though, which sucks, but they also haven’t been laying people off for the past 1-2 years either.

BDO taking a 1 billion loan means BDO personal has to work harder/ more to help pay back the debt. AKA less work life balance.

I like it at CLA. My office management is super chill. They’re very supportive. The office has a great view and is always stocked full of munchies and pop. Leadership is supportive, encouraging and will help you move in the direction of your interests.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
