Yeah would say solid technical accounting skills aren't really seen until the SM level. Even then, people generally develop niches and it's not uncommon to see a partner who doesn't even know how consolidations are performed

I feel the same way as you but I think I’d pick up on it pretty quickly

That's how I felt in audit and why I transferred to accounting advisory as a senior.

I feel the same especially when I go to those interviews. When they ask me about those ASC guidances or anything about the business operations etc. I don’t feel like I know anything.

What do you mean business operations?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Stub year in a free market firm frustrated about hours. Everyone was complaining about being slow last month, but it seems most passed 100 hours and I only got 60.

I can’t help but think I don’t fit in here and people don’t like me - especially because I went to a lower-ranked school, grew up poor, and am neurodivergent so networking is hard for me. Whole system feels very nepotistic. I just want to give up.
