Each is different. PwC below manager you only need to sell if you are on the audit engagement. Rules are different for managers and more restrictive if in the chain of command.

I never got checked as a senior so the risk is only if you get audited (sounds like it is rare). but once you make manager they will definitely review.

Well the RISK is that you blow the firms independence, at which point you get fired for being irresponsible.

independence is a farce. our audit clients pay the fees.

Yeah. I’ve been doing this for fifteen years. We report to the audit committee.

Are you a “Prodigious Accumulator of Wealth”?

Why has real estate remained lucrative?
Mainly agents but also developers.

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?

I have 2 questions 1) when does it make sense to prioritize workplace happiness/ balance over financial well-being? 2) if I go back on my offer acceptance should I consider that bridge burned?
