Attending a company holiday party where they're doing a white elephant gift exchange. I barely know anyone except through emails and IMs given that most of us WFH. Fun but office appropriate gift ideas $30 or under?

Do AA 500 mile upgrade awards expire? I have used a decent amount of upgrades, but I still have 14 that I have been sitting for a about maybe 6-7 months. I do not see anything about them expiring, but I would not be surprised if they do.

I am hoping someone can provide some insight so I don’t have to contact AA customer service :)

Putting in my two weeks with no job lined up to spend some time with my family and volunteering. Anyone have experience with a gap in employment? Will this ruin my chances of getting a “good” job by January? Have I gone completely insane?

What are the most boring jobs out there?

Got a verbal offer from Amazon and was wondering - is there a chance of increasing your base salary rate within the first 3 years, or am I essentially locked in? Offer was pretty low for an L6 (was previously inclined at L7 and TC is almost 40% lower)

I interviewed with PwC for sf dev two weeks back. Last week I called up the HR who got me interviewed for an update on it but she just said that give us some more time we will get back to you. Is it pretty usual in PwC to take this much time?

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

Thinking about going into public after 3 years of industry experience at a publicly traded company. I’m looking to expand my options for work in times like these.. has anyone had experience going from corporate to public accounting and have an idea of my chances of getting hired at a decent salary? I have my CPA if that’ll help.

How bad is it if someone misses 3 time sheets and is up for senior promo?

Would any associates or seniors ever watch a YouTube or TikTok channel that is a manger giving advice and coaching in things like passing the CPA, getting started in public accounting, maintaining well being, general career advice? Thank you!

PwC Townhall - too long didn't watch, what's the cliff notes ?

Need advice: do you tell your manager that you’re unhappy or do you just leave?

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲

Dallas folk. I am replanting myself to your city and I am now starting to look into places to live at. Any suggestions on locations? Any recommendations on a good orthodontist? Anything else I should know about your city?

I’ve seen a lot of recruiters recently trying to hire for advisory consulting firms that claim they do the work that Big 4 can’t because of independence issues. Does anyone think these types of firms are sustainable or will big 4 find a way around the independence restrictions and take this work back?

Good exit opportunities from B4 for a tax senior? I cannot see myself doing this and want to get out before it’s too late. Thanks!

When will I gain the skills necessary to be a senior? I’m coming up on my A2 year and I literally feel like a huge dunce. Can’t imagine taking on senior responsibilities. (audit btw)

Anyone else fantasizing of quitting right before busy season?

What is a typical salary range for a HCOL consulting manager position at some of the national firms (Grant Thornton, BDO, RSM, CLA, etc.)? Anyone?

How long is normal between verbal offer and formal paper offer

Not going to mention the firm or the engagement but heard that a senior manipulated a PBC to agree to their work paper and was curious if this happens more often than I thought. Am I naive to be in shock about this?!

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

How much in base should I ask for a Senior IT Auditor in industry? I’m MCOL. I’ve been shooting for 115k base but not sure if I’m selling myself short.

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?

I feel like I need a career coach because I am considering switching jobs but I don’t know where to go or where to start. I feel really overwhelmed and don’t know what I’m qualified for. And then always worried another job could be worse than the one I’m in now. Am I the only one like this? Where do you start? I can look at job postings and all but idk what I want to do long term. Especially with WFH I feel like there’s absolutely no networking or anyone to talk to outside of my team

What are the highest paying tax group in big four? M&A, TP?
