If you don’t like the CEO of your tax firm, does it make sense to leave? Like, if they’re a bad leader who’s also sexist.

I have a hard time articulating and communicating ideas to my team. On top of that, English is not my first language. I’m 27 but sometimes I feel like a jr. How can I empower myself and beat the impostor syndrome ? Do you honestly think that being a woman I have to work twice harder for it?

Any nice leather totes out there that have zippers or some other way to firmly close them? Looking for a new work bag but I’m a clutz and need to protect myself from spillage.

I have a coworker who is in the same position/level as I am on the same team and sometimes we split up work on certain projects, but then they act really really competitive. I don't feel the need to fight over things or go head-to-head and I just want to avoid it. I feel like if I bring it up then it will start something worse. What do I do?

When do you think associates are usually let go in small practice groups that are currently being overwhelmed with work? Is it when it starts to slows down or when they already have a candidate to replace you? Just trying to figure out how long I have after annoying a partner 😂.

Anyone got burnt by manager’s lie. Is it true that we should never trust a managers words ?

Happy Halloween! Who says Financial Professionals are not creative? Share what you dressed up as for work today?

I am on an engagement that has 2 managers. I enjoy working with 1 manager. He is very understanding and provides feedback/guidance. However, the other belittles me. She is constantly asking “why” and even when I am not sure of the response she keeps pressuring. She provides no actual information for me to learn from. Not sure if I should correct her on how she should speak to me. Or if I should jump ship & ask not to be on this engagement. still new so i am not stuck on this team yet.

Is it a nice idea to be close to your employees?

What do you do when a store manager let's a cashier.walk all over the assistant manager? Dm isn't any help. I'm at my wits end! Store manager sticks up for cashier every single time.

I put in a lot of effort to show my client properties that fit their requirements, but they ended up working with a different agent just because they wandered across an open house. I'm so frustrated right now. Has anyone else experienced this?

New company I’m joining is business casual. I haven’t been in an actual office for more than three years. What do you consider business casual and what are some of your favorite go to business casual brands or articles of clothing? I’m a pretty built guy so I prefer a more athletic fit, but definitely have a fashion sense.

One manager asked me to do her a favor and ping another Senior Manager to get a memo she wrote. I was like weird, but okay.
SM pings me back saying memo isn’t ready yet and he scheduled a meeting to go through what needs to be included in the memo. I fell for the manager’s trap and I am guessing now I need to write this memo 😊🔫

What skills should I focus on if I want to have a great career in tax? Would learning sql or python help? Or should I focus on tax technical? There is only so much time to learn so much!

Don't assume all of your coworkers are making about the same. Many years ago, I was working as a tax staff making $60,000 at a small CPA office in NYC. There was another tax staff that I shared an office with that was only making $40,000. How I knew? He accidentally dropped his paystub on his way out one Friday and was shocked to see how much less she was making. We were both staff level. I had more experience but still shameful that 2 staff levels had such a huge wage gap. I never told her.

2 years in and at these lower levels, its seems like Deloitte is already trailing any other firm in the city by about a year in terms of comp. Every year i find that my friends made as much or more...

What would you do?

I was recently promoted to be a senior and I’m on this project with an acting senior and associates. The acting senior would tell everyone, including me, what to do everyday before I get the chance to. I feel like he is stepping into my boundaries. I feel uncomfortable being told by him what I have to do when I know it myself. I feel like he’s my senior instead lol.

Am I being oversensitive about this as a new senior? Or how would you address this?
