I should have thought more about studying computer science or electrical engineering than accounting. Big 4 benefits are so paltry in comparison to tech companies. Found out some of the benefits tech companies have for their employees are killer:
•$3K wellness fund
•4 months parental leave & $5K gift for new parents
•Childcare reimbursement $3K
•Fully paid health insurance (vision, dental included)
•Fully paid internet and cellphone

Not to mention much higher pay and better WLB.

What is the tuition reimbursement benefit like at your company? I’m in Accenture Operation and there’s no such benefits. (Only strategy and CDO have it). Is it typical?

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

Hi all! I was asked coordinate a local happy hour for my team. The issue I’m having is that I’m currently pregnant and am not sure if I’m comfortable to hang out with strangers. What’s the most professional way to say no without hurting feelings / burning bridges? Or should I suck it up and go?

If you are leaving your firm and putting in your two weeks notice, what should be on your checklist to make sure your transition is the smoothest, both for you and for the firm you’re leaving?

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!
