are you in public or private accounting? I was in Big 4 for 4.5 years but am now in private. today is day 2! not much going on yet. they are preparing for a Board meeting on the 13th and said after that they will be able to really start teaching me everything. I say just make sure they know you’re free to do stuff that way they can tell you to sit tight and they know you are eager to work

I’m in public now but leaving to private this month :) I’m kind of nervous and don’t wanna disappoint anyone. I hope my team will be as nice as yours!

My experience has been meh. I moved from Big4 to industry. Everyone has been very nice and helpful, but the new company’s remote technology and remote on boarding processes are way behind the Big4. Every process assumed you were in the office, even though this company has been remote for all corporate employees for 8 months now. So, I’ve spent most of my time on the phone with IT instead of getting started with my actual job.

GM bowl! I was offered an IT Project Coordinator position for $37.50 an hour (I wanted $40 but they couldn’t) - remote - 6 mo. c2hire for a large food company. I interviewed for this in Jan 22 and they’re just now coming back to formally offer.

This seems like a lot for not that great of pay?

Any companies have roles that require a test or examination and/or structured interview with questions that are confidential? And, require on-site testing for security/proprietary reasons? If so, have you had an accommodation request for an applicant to take the test/interview remotely? In the past I feel like modifying a pre employment exam to allow applicant to take from home would be burdensome/substantial modification. But now with remote/telework I am not sure. Any thoughts?

I don’t belong in my job. I didn’t mind it when I joined in January and was interacting but as we’ve been work from home longer, the less motivation I have.

At this point I just am doing the bare minimum to not get fired. What do I do? Should I look for a job that I actually would enjoy doing or stick it out?

So I need help again with this Covid pay! My firm basically took all my PTO and used it for my Covid pay, they said they are exempt from the law because they offer remote work.

They told me to call the department of labor and file a complaint. I don’t know what to do. Any advice?
