Am I gonna be the only one to say work ? Politics are tough but on a day to day I say the work. Then again I guess it depends on who you're working with and the culture and everyone's personalities and interpersonal skills

Maybe depends on what you include in the politics - for me that's client interactions, which feed partner interactions, which are driven by business unit agendas, and then you are only second behind the seniors at shielding the staff from the shitshow. The work for me is producing a return or tax position which is fairly linear.

The work. I have done a good job of staying firmly out of office politics and making sure I maintain positive reputation in order to keep it that way. I am older than many of my peers and one advantage of that is, as long as I feel I have done my best and can honestly say no one should have any good reason to complain about me, I dgaf about any petty bitch that decides to do so. And I definitely dgaf about anyone else's drama. The hardest part of my job is managing my time wisely.

Politics are worse because they're annoying. I hate having to navigate hyperinflated overly fragile egos in order to get work done...

What do you mean by office politics? I don't really deal with any of such drama, in my experience

All our boy friends in common keep telling me that he has a crush on me but yesterday when we were hanging out with some friends and they asked him about his crush he said " I don't know I think maybe I liked a boy instead of a girl". That made me confused is there something wrong I'm doing? Does he think I'm boyish or is that a common teasing technique ?

I really don’t feel like Audit is for me. I just feel like a lot of what we do is like not clearly right or wrong, and we shoot for just “good enough” which stresses me out. I’ll want to do something right and my manager is just that’s fine just prepare it and if partner wants it changed then we change it. I do enjoy accounting but I’m always so confused at interpreting client files. I’m an A2 and to me (whether right or wrong) I feel like a failure until I reach $120k in salary (cont).

Hi,
Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years. I was in public accounting for almost 5 years prior and stepped away as a supervising senior in audit for a mid tier firm. Would love to get a chance to connect/network with some people.
