@D1, was hired for strategy, been doing mostly audit so far. The lifestyle is wearing on me, but I think I'd be able to justify it if I enjoyed the work/did what I was hired for

@D1, I've informally mentioned that to my relationship partner a few times. Was basically told, we use IT audit to augment utilization when we don't sell enough strategy work. Hopefully the upcoming year end review will help my case.

That sucks - can you go back to Partner who hired you? Say you paid your dues, learned a lot, happy to have pinch hit, now ready to do what you were hired for. Wait til busy season's over or it will fall on deaf ears.

And that's a side affect of being in BIG 4. At least you're still getting paid more than the auditors

Sucks big time - very depressing

Hang in there - don't want to give back your bonus

In my offer letter it stated a signing bonus to be paid on the first available payroll after my start date. Its been a month since my first paycheck and HR and the Payroll team are incredibly unresponsive to my inquiry on where this bonus is. What’s the next course of action? Legal? I’m not at ACN anymore so not looking for ACN-specific advice.
