#MAIPSummit2020:
How do you deal with layoffs?
-for those now suddenly unemployed, and
-for those who didn't get laid off but are now dealing with a bleak looking workplace

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

If you had the pick of BCG Chicago and Bain Chicago out of undergrad, which would you choose, and why?

I had resigned 3 months back and then retracted it. Now i want to resign again. Is there any time limit in TCS before which i cannot resign again?

Hello fishes, I am not able to understand why D&A competency in TC is doing EPM implementation projects using Oracle. When there is a dedicated competency for Oracle ERP implementation. Anyone having some idea please help understand this.

Team is already talking about eating hours. My utilization is down cause I was in unassigned for a month in Dec/Jan. What's worse pissing off the partner or having a low utilization? -staff 1

I often wonder why I did accounting because the services I provide to my clients mean nothing to them. At the wake of my friend's dad tonight, he asked for my help during dealing with his family

General Perceptions of firms: KPMG - big party-ers Deloitte- a little snobby PwC - arrogant, everything is a competition EY - nothing of note, just there.. What'd I get wrong/right?

It's refreshing to see RBC's committment to no 2020 layoffs. Anyone know if any other banks are following suit?

PwC Townhall - too long didn't watch, what's the cliff notes ?

Good morning to all those who are still in busy season for another few weeks. Go get'em!!

Passed the CIA. 🍾 I'm rolling deep in the letters... CPA, CFE too. What should I do next?

Is CMA worth getting after getting the CPA? Or is it better to get the CFA. Also don’t have much finance background so I don’t know if I can pass the CFA will require a lot of hard work. Interesting in hearing people’s thoughts.

I have no plans in leaving PA anytime soon but I figure maybe I should look into another certification that holds value and makes me more marketable compared to my peers. Appreciate any thoughts and advice.

- Also considering going to a t14 MBA in future.

Highest number of billable hours you have seen in a year?

Does anyone have any good books or podcasts about how to develop leadership/ managing skills?

What industries is the CFE certification used for? How does it compare to CPA in the length of the material and difficulty? Do most firms pay for It?

If I accept an offer with another big 4 and give my two weeks as a staff, what are the chances I am asked to leave before serving my two weeks?

NOT accounting related question... but Hoping others might be able to help. I’m ready to leave PA to become a teacher (I’m a mom of 3 young kids and really need work-life balance, plus I love teaching

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.

Does anyone actually charge actual hours?? The budget is so unrealistic...

Have a phone screen with a recruiter today. Dodged the salary requirements question in the application but I know it will be asked in the phone screen. If they ask me, can I turn the q on them?

Any cheap AI stock I should consider buying? Any suggestions?

Anyone know what percentage of raise to expect from SC to M at Deloitte? Wondering if it’s worth getting hopes up?
