Sounds like regular 1/2nd year work to me. Stop whining and just do those jobs. And do them excellently.
PwC Op the way you describe the audit procedure. You will stuck on associate position for a long time. Work is work whether it is small or big. So stop bitching on your certifications 😎😎🤓🤓
They said that you are dumb, man. Not that you are a dumb man.
OP - are you the only culturally diverse person that has been assigned these "admin" jobs in the past on your job? Or are you just using your diversity as an excuse? These jobs all sound like positions most associates take on... being Hispanic or not, cpa/cfa etc or not. The majority of people don't judge your intelligence entirely on the titles you've earned, you actually have to prove yourself. You sound like you have a very inflated ego and should consider taking a step down from this pedestal you're on. The most intelligent people I know don't boast about their own intelligence, nor make excuses for others not realizing their agility.
Nice catch!
I started looking to jump into consulting. The only good reason to stay is to have more time to study because audit is easy.
What is your level? There are certain things that are done based on level not ability because your bill rate is cheaper.
You're obviously very capable. Look into office politics. Seems like a crazy office you're ib
I am talking about a specific client. I don't think I am failing though. Who fails in audit? Tie column A to Column B and if you don't know the answer, copy PY. You will be correct 98% of the time.
Deloitte 1: " Do your time". People have told me that before. My senior on confirms patiently waited her turn. She was going into her 4 year doing confirms and when she asked to do something else; got nothing. Ended up leaving. Why is that the first thing that people assume is that I'm arrogant? My industry is AM. Clearly, I can be on another area more challenging but you are focusing that I am whining! Would you be asking for other areas if you are putting the time to learn more about your industry and expanding your knowledge?
Wow, people in this thread are really negative about certifications and owning your career, which is the bullshit that all of our firms tell us everyday. I can see now how my peers have me doing confirms, reading your negatives comments.
Cheers!
OP, it can be frustrating do work that is so simple. I feel you. Just know that this will pass and more difficult work will come.
Also, I'm curious what you mean by "Hispanic/Spanish". Where were you born? How is advanced is your English? A lot of things in this business come down to relationships and communication.
^ Assurance Senior 2: My english is fine. I can also speak French/Spanish. (Now that is arrogant haha) Kidding aside, I also believe that business is all about relationships and communication.
You have a cfa and you're in audit? Why?
Look the only thing you can control is the work you do. You're being asked to do Associate level work and are complaining about it. Yes a lot of Associate level work is admin level. Tough shit. Being a professional isn't only how technical you can be, it's also being able to do the work assigned to you, even when that work is boring. Know your role, put in your time, and the more advanced work will come as you advance within the firm. You're a 2nd year Associate, so not sure why you expect to not do 2nd year work....
Perform high level work on the tasks you're assigned. Be a team player. Add value to he engagement. Then when you get promoted to Senior the more advanced stuff will come. Sometimes those opportunities come early, but that can't be expected.
To be honest those opportunities are really based on luck. You need a lot of things to go right, many of which are out of your control. You need a client with complex issues, you need a lean team so that the seniors can't take on all the work and you need to be a high performer. Only 1 of these three variables you control yourself. The others are outside of your control.
EY 1: "he will think you are just jealous about his certifications"
True.
Again with the "he".
^but didn't you hear? OP has CPA CFE CFA and "normal" career growth is not worthy of OP
