Do any of you stay with your current job bc of the flexibility you’ve earned over the years? I’ve been at the same company for ten years and am SO READY to make a change but I’m scared to give up the flexibility.

For example, my 3 and 1 year olds were home with me all week because daycare had to shut down. I did as much as I could, joined calls and met all deadlines but I also stepped away a lot during the day to pay attention to the kiddos. I’m scared if I go somewhere new this wouldnt be ok.

Dear All, am looking for a job change

Looking forward to your comments and recommendations.

Does anyone work at Amazon in their crystal city location? A recruiter reached out to me for a SDE role. I’m wondering what it’s like to work there

I'm interviewing for Sr Product Design positions & each interview is 30 minutes to share 2 case studies. With only 12 min/case study (I eat up some time introducing myself & setting up the work), does anyone have advice on what to make sure I show? It's so hard to hit all the points they I'm trying to hit: problem definition through user research, wireframes, design exploration, usability tests, prototypes, final designs, red lines, engineering handoff, KPIs. Any advice or examples?

How is it to work with HCL Google Cloud Ecosystem? How is the work life balance in HCL, Job Security and Onsite opportunities?

Getting ready to study for the CAMS exam. Do I need anything extra besides just studying the study guide and practice exam over and over. I’ve read online about people using AML assassin; is it worth it?

Has anyone taken the CFE exam? How did it go? Was it hard? Gow did you prepare?

Question for people in forensic field - Is there a reason why many forensic roles prefer people who can speak multiple languages? I mean I understand that there are international arbitration type of work, but is that all? How would your language skill benefit you in these roles? Appreciate your inputs.

Other expert report found numerous error in my calculation... I may get fired

Curious how firms compare on WLB. Anyone care to participate? Post your firm, your average utilization, and typical utilization at your company

About to take CAMS. Anyone know the exam format? A,B,C,D? Anything tricky about it?

Is there a big gap in pay between forensics at major accounting/consulting firms and smaller local/regional shops?

My office currently works on really big corporate cases: antitrust, bankruptcies, valuations, etc. but I’m interested in the work smaller shops do like divorces, personal injury, wrongful death, etc.

Looking to move into a fraud/forensics field. Currently in Financial Services Consulting for 3 years and hate it. What are some possible paths that might be a good place to start?

Any CAMS certified people out there? Tips? Tricks?
Is it worth getting?

2 questions:

1. Amongst all the big PA firms, who has the strongest forensic service line?

2. CAMS or CFE or CFF?(already a CPA).

Thank you!

For someone with CPA and CISA (with experience in both financial and IT audit) who is really interested in fraud/forensics what certification would you recommend? TIA for your advice 😊

Anyone who gave the CFE exam recently care to share some tips & tricks on the prep ? I am contemplating to give it in next 2-3m.

Anyone else taking the CFE and can give insight to whether the actual test was the same questions from the review/practice questions? Any study tips? FYI they are also changing their proctoring system in July. Thank you!

Anyone tried the new Sanctions Certificate (CGSS) offered by ACAMS? Trying to see how difficult it is considering I don't have a lot of experience with sanctions compliance. I have CAMS & work in AML

Any ideas on KPMG MD total comp in Risk?

Cram studying for CFE. Is it recommended to study for one test and take one at a time, or study for all and take the 4 on the same day?

Sounds like all of the Big 4 are ramping up pay (audit, tax, and especially accounting advisory and M&A). Anyone know if we’ll see similar increases in forensics? What about at boutiques and consulting firms?

Looking for a comparison between FTI and StoneTurn - type of work, strength of practice, long term growth, overall culture?
