I can’t wait to one day leave b4 and not have to do independence ever again. Moved from one to another and re-entering everything is like getting a lobotomy.

I bet they’ll come up with something which says that due to independence restrictions, you are not allowed to work anywhere else for the rest of your career.

This is why once I leave EY I’ll never go back to a CPA firm. Already worked at 4 of them, it’s enough 😂

Two of them were mid tier firms...not sure if that makes it better or worse

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
