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.

I’m thinking of picking up a few freelance projects to make the most out of our everlasting WFH situation. Does anyone have a freelance site they like and would recommend? There’s so many at this point, curious as to what everyone else is using and what kinds of projects you’ve been able to find.

Colleague has put in his resignation. They are offering him whatever he wants to stay including 4days a week work from home. He’s not bluffing and plans to leave. However, at this same time I was asked to begin working as a supervisor for the engineering team and I would get a promotion at the beginning of the year. I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
