My 2 cents.

Pretty stable at the macro level. The demand for accounting jobs is increasing and the number of people going into it is decreasing. Perform well and there are plenty of jobs over the long term.

At the micro level there will always be companies that do poorly and may need to pay people off. There will also be companies that grow, but not fast enough to make it easy for you to be promoted without jumping to another company. Some years it will be we easier to jump ship and get a raise than others.

Is the industry changing with automation and outsourcing. Yes, but not enough to be of concern if you are a good employee.

I have been in an awkward reporting structure for 2.5 years. On record I’ve reported to the VP of Marketing, who was crazy toxic, and technologically inept. I’m a senior website manage and she had no interest in my role. She shirked me off to also report to her two directors, PR and Call Center. Needless to say, that’s been a difficult situation for me. She’s gone and the new VP starts tomorrow. Any guidance on how to ensure this ends with the incumbent VP?

I work at deloitte and have never been told to do this and thought it honestly was illegal. Thoughts? It doesn’t seem right that she’s having to eat those hours and feel scared when she’s working til 10/12 every night.
