in FAAS you have the flexibility to be involved in various types of projects/engagements. And if you find an area you love you can start to specialize in that area

SPA closing accounts focus from what I’ve observed in FDD is a very narrow area of work (I suspect you’d live in SPA agreements all day). That said, it’s an area where clients highly value the service and offer a lot of praise for good work performed.

Looking at and SPA all day would seem like a pain

And even as a fresh senior, I work closely with my partners and receive coaching and recognition directly from them for my work, which is good for career progression to say the least

Just know, wherever you go in a Big 4, it's going to be hard to bargain for work/life balance because the market is running hard right now. Short supply but lots of demand. That being said, the only way to get all that you listed is to make sure you are with a good group who you really think you'd connect with. EY FAAS has a really strong people culture, especially if you're in the East since we've been around the longest-- leaders monitor utilization closely and if it gets high, they acknowledge it and try to spread the work and bring it down so that folks aren't overworked. Vacation is sacred and teams will do all they can to respect it. Can't speak to PWC but EY has been great since I've joined.

Like others have said, it depends on if you want your new role to be more narrow or broadly focused.

I joined EY FAAS earlier this year and have worked on a variety of projects (e.g. potential SPAC transaction, purchase price accounting/integration of an acquisition). I like that in each of the projects, I have worked on a variety of technical matters (e.g. revenue recognition, VIEs, etc.) as well as general SEC/GAAP requirements (e.g. public versus private company accounting standards, disclosure requirements, etc.).

I can't speak to PwC's practice, but just consider what you'd like out of your next experience and what will help you with longer term goals.

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
