Did before COVID and will remain that way.

Yes, but that's because audit has the lowest barrier to entry amongst all professional services.

Yeah, but it’s been that way since before I started which was back in 2016. No idea how it used to be at other companies.

From what I’ve heard in comp, it seems that way. I’m just a senior tho, so maybe my info isn’t the best. Maybe that’s just because of the subsets of tax consulting can bring averages up in a way that audit won’t tho.

Since forever

Yup, because audit doesn’t make money

Any CPAs here that studied and took the GMAT after licensure? Currently looking into prep paths for it, am interested to hear perspective from someone who took both on how you prepped for it compared to CPA. After the hell of passing all 4 CPA exams what I've read so far about the GMAT honestly makes it sound fairly straightforward in comparison, but I don't want to let my CPA ptsd influence me into underestimating it if it's way more demanding than it looks on the surface.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
