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( did it a few times and haven’t passed ) but I pass the CPE reviews more. 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

Hi fishes,

I have 1.9 years of experience in L2 support . I want to switch to Data Analyst.Can you guide how can i proceed with it? Will it be the right decision.

I have cleared 3 rounds with Deloitte for PMO Role, have an upcoming final Partner Round, any idea what that is?

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work . BUT managers are terrible at planning and recently end up putting me in preventable situations where I need to work 55 hrs or have the staff work the 55 hours. I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?
