I'm in Vancouver, seeking an accounting job with 2 years of experience, including 2 tax seasons. I aim to work at a Big 4 firm to advance my career.

My current well-known local firm only handles compilation engagements, limiting my experience in audits and reviews. My current salary (<50K) will not be enough to support my newborn baby (increasing my motivation to advance).

Given my situation, is it possible to work at a Big 4 firm? Any advice or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.
