I’m thinking of leaving audit after my second busy season. My main interest in accounting has always been forensics /fraud . Also thinking of going the CFE route instead of CPA. What position should I apply to or transfer into ? Also do I look for a senior position or just an associate. Please any input will be helpful . Thanks in advance

I too used to be interested in forensics. I’ve heard at B4 that at the senior level it’s a lot of tedious work but is the best way to get into the field. You could look to do a temporary internal rotation outside of busy season to see if you enjoy it.

This is the ultimate dream I just feel like I need to have some experience in the field before going to FBI

CFE opens a lot of opportunities, you can do investigations. Happy to talk over DM

Hello! I’ve been working as a photographer for 15 years both as an employee and a freelancer. I started working full time with my current company a year ago.

I have no official experience in this field and had never heard of it before but feel like it will essentially be a creative director. I will also maintain the photography duties for the time being. Any idea what salary I should ask for?

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both. Either I love the job and I’m grossly underpaid or the job is totally mediocre but the money is great. Is it really possible to have it all or do I need to lower my standards? Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?
