I try to set boundaries at work, even as an associate. I’m always available and usually hit billables with decent reviews. Do you get pushback from seniors or MPs for setting work boundaries? What are the responses you’ve received?

Just got out of a 3 year relationship and am now 25. I know 25 is so young but I can’t help feeling like my time to find “the one” is limited and I’m scared. Someone tell me I’m nuts LOL

I want to hop from PR to recruiting. Is there anyone here with the same background or a recruiter who would be willing to chat with me? Would I have to be a recruiting coordinator if I’ve spent a few years in PR?

Found out my husband has been texting a female coworker for months (someone he talks about a lot and I told him I was uncomfortable a few months ago)… he referred to me as his sugar mama, has been bringing her coffee… I’m so hurt and enraged, is this normal? Am I overreacting?

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Based on the various threads I came across, it appears that it’s best to transfer from tax compliance to M&A tax at the senior level.

I’m up for Manager this fall, and presumably the transfer, either internal or external would not happen until then. Would I be setting myself up for failure if I transfer as a manager? I can’t imagine being successful in managing deals and identifying issues at a manager level..

I've been working at this company for a few years now, and I've always felt like I'm being paid what I'm worth. But now I know that's not true—there are other people with less experience than me who are making more. Tips for asking for a raise?

Hi all,
Has anyone from @EY GDS renegotiated their current EY offer by countering it other companies offer letter?
I currently hold two offers one from EY GDS and another from ATOS (ATOS is offering more than EY)
I am looking forward to join EY GDS but have zero experience in renegotiating

Need guidance on how to proceed

Started to sleep train my 8month old using the Ferber method. After two hours of crying he fell asleep. One of the few times he's fell asleep without being rocked. Progress!

Hey all, not to be that person, but I very much struggled and still have my bouts with depression. Going gluten free (strict for months to see improvement) helped me an insane amount with getting rid of my depression and lifting the fog. I still have anxiety but cutting out coffee has helped. Just passing along my experience in case it might help someone.

Who practices corporate? How did you make the decision? Pros and cons?

A guy who is claiming to be in love with me (a black woman and immigrant), is a conservative (pro-trump, anti-gun laws, denies that there is racism etc). Are those red flags to make me cut him off?

Are there any M&A attorneys in here looking to go in-house & would be open to relocating to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area? The role is with the largest privately held company in the US! If so, please DM me. Thanks!

I need some guidance on this situation.

I sublease an apartment from a friend who is currently in Jail unfortunately. I wasn’t in the lease and the apartment found out from my personal check which I paid for the rent.

They refused the rent and after the three day notification has passed they refused the cashier’s check here in Orange County.

The apartment has put him up for eviction and I feel bad about this cos it was cost savings. Is there anything I can do to save this?

What level of heels are appropriate for the office, and are form-fitting dresses with a blazer looked down on? I wore some heels that were kind of high last week and got seriously dirty looks from the older women in the office. I thought I was dressing professionally but now I'm worried. Haven't been here very long and I don't want to make a bad impression.

So I finally watched-binged-Insecure over the weekend. Are there any black firms like the one Molly ended up working at? I would consider the firm to be a Mid-to-Big Law firm. Please drop their names and locations. Thank you

*Manifestation thread* What is your dream firm you'd want to work for?
