British ruled India for 140 years

@D2 If Battlefield 1 has any historical accuracy, apparently they ruled the majority of the world up up until WW1 which is impressive and fascinating to me

ATK- to be fair they both have accents

I'm an indian too and have had 2 British girlfriends in the past. Love the London Accent especially.

Read into the history of the accents. You might be surprised what you learn about the current status of them compared to the originals.

That or the native American accent

A1...Americans have an accent too. We just don't hear it because our biases define it as normal.

I have a British accent, and I must say, it's 🔥

I haven’t been able to get any work done for like a week due to feeling anxious and unfocused and strung out.

Today marks a year since my best friend’s death. We actually hadn’t known each other too long bc I met him at work. Maybe 5 years but we connected so well. He died from a fatal accident last year.

And I can only say this but I also had a secret crush on him. (Continued)

I’m graduating from my MSA program and I have two offers:

1) FDD @ KPMG

2) CMAAS @ PwC (trying to move offer to valuations)

I want to use these TAS roles to move into more M&A advisory roles like IB/Corp Dev. PwC comp is a decent amount higher due to the $10k salary increase so it makes the decision a bit harder. Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
