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 😎😎🤓🤓

Book vs street smart? Them audit streets be cold

Already talked with my partner about it. Looking at PY workpapers the people who has done the same tasks were also diverse.

In

EY 1: I am ticking a report and replying. Thats multitasking

tickmarking*

PwC 3: Yea like you said regular. You can say goodbye to Tier 1 and early promotion doing the tasks I am doing.

Are you in a large office? I work for a mid-tier firm, and we don't have 2nd year staff doing only admin work. Maybe you need to switch offices or firms.

Maybe I was not clear. I did not went to the partner directly. It was my scheduled meeting. Come on ! I am not that dumb, that would be career suicide at the firm.

No, CFA lvl 3 candidate.

Thanks for your negative comment. I am not "bitching" and I deliver high quality work. Why you assumed that? I don't see how your little on sided story compares to mine but thanks for sharing.

You crazy, EY 1. I am a fun teammate. I don't drink the kool aid.

That happens when you drink and write!

Thanks Senior 1! Tough shit

^Thank you for your comment Senior 1. Best feedback/advice.

@Baker Tilly 1he is just dumb man! Don't waste your time. He would not understand. If you oppose him he will think you are just jealous about his certifications.

haha Why do you assume I am a man?

I find it funny how many assumptions people are making here. I got advice, which was my goal. The end.

Any advice given to him is rejected. He can never be wrong. Wow, just imagine working with this person..

Read above and scrub all the negative comments posted and you'll find that I agree with some advice. Senior 1 nailed it with to only focus on the variables that you can control and forget the ones you can't. It is just a little frustrating that you career growth depends on luck and other people assessment of you. Thank you all for helping in any way. I appreciate it.

@OP your career growth does not depend on luck. You're growing at the normal pace. It's true that earl advancement depends on luck and circumstances, but it's not as if you're behind the curve. You're perfectly on track for normal career growth.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
