I appreciate my Big 4 flexibility and benefits, like PTO and parental leave. But I've noticed my managers are always busy, working long hours, or getting swamped with new tasks. I'm concerned about consistently working 50+ hours a week for half the year or more in the long run. Are there audit managers who mostly work 40 hours or less outside of busy season?

35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

Does someone have information about Kearney Dubai. Would be highly interested in getting some insights about team events, benefits besides salary as well as hotels or flight classes. 

Newbie to healthcare here with a very basic question: if a provider stores medical records electronically, and a patient requests those records to be sent via mail, is it still considered ePHI/EHI? In other words, is it the way the data is maintained rather than the method of transmission? (Asking in context of new Information Blocking rule)

How normal is it to be pulled off a trial team because you tell your boss you are moving after trial? I have a trial coming up first week of Oct. This case has been my baby, and I’m going to try it with my boss. I tell my boss up front that, for family reasons, I’ve gotten a new job and will be moving to another city two weeks after trial will likely end. He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?

8k range was the long term 200 day MA support that everyone and their mother said they would be buying at. Well it’s 8900 and buy volume is basically nonexistent..

Any consultants from Deloitte who can help to staff in a healthcare project? I’ve worked with healthcare clients for 10 years and relatively new to the firm.

Hello, I’m a certified occupational therapy assistant and looking to utilize my bachelors in healthcare administration to transitioning my career into a more non-clinical role. Ideally I’d like the flexibility to work remotely. However, I’m having such a hard time landing an interview. Is anyone good with helping transition resumes from clinical to managerial/administration?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.

Healthcare consulting practice. Deloitte vs Accenture vs other players. Thoughts on who has the best practice overall?

And any insight/who has the best practice in the provider space specifically?

Any firms have a focus on Aerospace and Defense industries? Headhunters always reach out about tech and healthcare firms (as well as more generalist ones), which are great but I’m just not that interested. Only find a few with significant A&D exposure.

Hi fishes ,

I received an offer for senior manager position in PWC .

I’ve been practicing in traditional labor for about two years now (although about a decade of labor relations experience) but I’m trying to break into employee benefits law. Unfortunately I’m not being given much experience in benefits as I’m pretty typecast as a labor atty. Any advice on how I can go about getting employee benefit experience? My long term goal is to have benefits be my main area of practice.

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k
Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares
TC: 122k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?

Do you ever regret your career choice? I’m beginning to realize I may not have wanted to be a mechanical engineer after all. What other career options are there for me with my current degree?

A recruiter from a firm I applied to reached out about scheduling an interview and I responded 5 minutes later saying I am available whenever. Over two days have gone by and I’ve heard nothing. Is that odd?

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…

Anybody else feel unnecessarily guilty when emailing your manager that you are taking a sick day? Idk why but I always feel like even though it’s completely normal, that it is being judged negatively.

As someone who has spent 7 years in the recruitment field specifically helping those who originated in audit or partnership tax compliance I’d be happy to answer anyone’s questions! Please only those that live and work in NYC.

I think the Matrix is broken, I just had a déjà vu.

Just got a rousing pep talk from my partner about how being a partner in public accounting is the “greatest career anyone could ever dream of”. Feel like he’s still trying to talk himself into it, too.

Does industry have billable hours? At the big 4, we are required to work a certain number of hours each week and if we spend too much time on anything we are questioned on why it took so long. Is that a thing when you go in industry?

At what point are you too specialized to lateral to internal audit? (PA, consulting, or industry roles) Currently have 2 years of external audit experience and 2 years of forensics: I always thought of internal audit as a decent exit but I’m beginning to get worried about getting too specialized to make that move one day
