I am new to this group, early stage in my career and god let me tell you my head spins when I hear all the acronyms here 😵‍💫

Big 4, WITCH, MBB, T2 and what not! 🤮

Have some mercy on newbies 🙄😂

Just kidding people! Still figuring these out. Anyway, glad to be here. 😊

Btw I’m close to Toronto (can’t say Brampton is Toronto. That will lit anothe fire 😂) Hoping to connect with you all. You can stop by and Say hi in comment section or in DMs!

Welcome to the bowl OP. If your employer doesn't have more acronyms than fishbowl I would be surprised. Every employer and client I have worked for has so many acronyms that sometimes it can make your head spin.
