I’m in the getting-shit-together phase still (hauling ass but still). Also trying to cope with my adhd 2 years into my diagnosis (read that “wrestling and losing hard”). Trying to overhaul my life coincides with moving to a new city, jumping to a large firm from boutique experience, a really complex massive client that makes my head spin, no social, etc.

Why can't the client stay as late as the auditors each night? Who's supposed to answer all my questions?

We are in the process of consolidating accounts for a new client and moving them over to Charles Schwab where we custody - all straight forward stuff. The client has an old 401k from a previous employer and filled out the paperwork with that 401k to roll it to Schwab. So about $470k hit her Schwab account last week. And then exactly 7 days later, another $460k hits again. Both from the 401k custodian. But her account was only $470k. I think they messed up royally. Now what???

Hey LEK fishes or anyone that has any advice. I recently accepted a job offer for the boston office but over the past weekend, my circumstances have changed and I’d need to stay in NYC for family and would probably have to take back my acceptance. I know the nyc office doesn’t have any spots available but does anyone know if the recruiters can switch it after I’ve already accepted the boston office?

Is accepting a counter offer ever a good idea?
