I was hoping someone could share insights on what to expect when joining RSM from a small public accounting firm. Specifically, I’m curious about the culture, level of support, and work-life balance within the Financial Reporting department.

Thanks in advance!

Which agency would you advice against joining and why ?

Advice on changing roles within PwC? Interested in trying something new that I know audit is clearly not for me, but don’t want to damage relationships or my reputation.

Is there an online auction or store-like site where I can buy lost luggage at rock-bottom prices, so I could buy a high-end suitcase cheaper than retail?

Hi all! I’m thinking about moving to the Netherlands in a consulting role, currently based in London.

Any advice on whether this move is possible given I’m not currently speaking Dutch? (But super open to learning!)

Has anyone used LAS Links? What can I expect?

I’m starting to think regardless where you go (agency side) the work will be there along with the politics and bs. Should we always base our next move with compensation as number 1 deciding factor?

What's the typical compensation range for a senior editor position? I suspect I'm being underpaid

Curious to know how closely you (creatives) work with your strategy/ planning counterparts. What is the dynamic you share?

I have been in an awkward reporting structure for 2.5 years. On record I’ve reported to the VP of Marketing, who was crazy toxic, and technologically inept. I’m a senior website manage and she had no interest in my role. She shirked me off to also report to her two directors, PR and Call Center. Needless to say, that’s been a difficult situation for me. She’s gone and the new VP starts tomorrow. Any guidance on how to ensure this ends with the incumbent VP?

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

How do you deal with imposter syndrome? I'm a new therapist and I work with a bunch of women who have been doing this for ages. They're all really sweet, but I can't help feeling like I'm way out of my league. I mostly see younger clients which I guess works in my favor, but I just feel like I'm totally incompetent compared to the women I work with.

Do you know any people that have started as fresher and retired in TCS. Just wanted to know the salary that they retired in.

Is certifications really required for the job?.. a person who do not have the certification, will not be able to handle projects or data?...pls comment

Best agency to work for?

How long are you typically on the phone each day? My phone time has steadily increased throughout the pandemic to around 6 hours per day

Want a job? Want to work at S&? Are you a manager or above? Send me a DM! We’re in a big hiring push… specifically for our digital strategy team, but can always direct you to your preferred team.

How much did you study to pass the CISA? CISSP?

Anyone else on public accounting an ENFP? Is it just me or is this career a struggle with thus personality type? 🤦🏻‍♂️

As a tax manager how do you stop feeling like a factory worker on the line churning out tax returns? I’m outgoing and do not like being in the weeds…stayed in public accounting thinking making manager would get me to more of a sales/client relationship position but nothing changed since I was the main client contact as a senior and now have no one to delegate to.

For those who moved from a client serving role to an internal role in public accounting while at a fairly high level (experienced manager or senior manager), did you take a pay cut or does your pay stay flat when you transition with minimal increases in subsequent years? Also what role are you in now? I really like EY and the company. I’d like to look at moving to an internal role but I’m worried I’ve priced myself out (currently at around 140k comp in LCOL).

Can’t relate to my team members because we have almost nothing in common, as in I don’t drink/have any funny drunk stories and don’t keep up with college football

There’s a SM in my office who I really enjoy working with. He is very down to earth and level-headed, which always helps boost team morale. I want to show my appreciation and/or try to work on...

Need tips for working with a super insecure coworker - needs praise, is threatened by others' ideas. Tries to be sole line of contact to partner and won't delegate. Then moans about hrs worked.

I am sooo done right now. It’s not the workload, it’s not the hours,it’s not the crazy clients without controls nor processes...[I love audit (yes, I am a nerd and yes, I have a life outside)] (cont)

What to do with free time after busy season?

Good resource for resume writing? Haven’t had to update my resume since starting in audit years ago. Want to make sure I’m saying things the right way in a way that will be attractive to industry.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Good bar spots around 345 park (KPMG) lol
