Interviewed for tax manager position in public corporation today. Small tax teams. There could be 1 staff under two managers but managers are expected to prepare too. Is this normal in industry?

Do you mean industry?

Yes. An industry tax position.

Yes, it is normal. Industry is much more horizontally integrated rather than vertically like public. I am in industry now, large multinational
company, and we have about 15 ppl in our tax dept including the VP. Each of us is responsible for a certain task/area of tax compliance. Our staff, seniors, managers and even directors prepare work papers and returns. Managers also deal with fed and state auditors, external PA firms among other things. I don’t view managers preparing returns as a bad thing, despite PA clearly wants us to think so.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

I’ll just be honest, I’m having trouble keeping my temper with employees and sometimes customers. I know I need to fix this ASAP. Looking to hear some experiences from people who’ve overcome this issue.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
