I despise scheduling meetings. Anything with more than, like, 4 people is basically impossible unless you do it 6 months in advance.

Yeah… I am trying to schedule a call with multiple senior managers+ and the client (outside of our weekly call). Having to check our team’s schedule, then go ask the client if the one time I found works for them, repeat for a week until something finally works.

Yes, and then half the time the meeting could have been a quick email with a list of bullet points.

I stopped joining the weekly ones in our practice. If I have an issue I’ll reach out to the scheduler. I don’t need 50 people on a call to do it.

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.

Thanks for your help!

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
