Is corporate swag dead? I got a $50 gift card to the company store when I joined, and since then nothing. I can buy it if I want (with $15 shipping), but it’s not even discounted. My last org was like this as well.

Thoughts on the Tech investment banking scene in Charlotte, North Carolina?

Any tricks for keeping up with social content trends? Anyone know of a site that tracks them?

I don’t like Chicago. It seems that I will have to move to Chicago in the fall. How do I survive this

how do we get out?! i’ve been doing office work in a grocery store for too long… this was supposed to help me transition out of hospitality but it feels like i’m going to be stuck in a grocery store for the rest of my career
i guess i just need to voice my frustrations. it’s not that i hate my job or the field, i don’t. i’m just feeling extremely overwhelmed and discouraged i think. does anyone really, truly enjoy what they do in retail/hospitality?? needing some positivity

MM PE vs MF PE - which would you (do you) prefer and why?

Do you have “coaching agreements” between teachers and coaches? What kind of information goes into that document? 📝

Made the mistake of compromising for a cheaper watch, but that more expensive watch is still calling my name - what have y’all done in this situation? Now feels even more wasteful to go for the expensive one.

Are you an RPA developer with 3-5 years of experience and looking to transition into the BFSI vertical? IM for details. I am hiring.

How do you go about your LinkedIn profile after having gotten (or in the works of getting) job2? Do you add an end date to your current job?… do you deactivate your LinkedIn? 😅… how do y’all go about it?

I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards? Can I keep progressing in the standard ladder and keep doing implementations, or is it automatically going to end up becoming more are more sales oriented and less actual implementation work? Especially interested in the SM level and above. I’d prefer staying at Big 4 and avoid the supplier side.

In my notice period in TCS decided to hunt for interview in other company after one month, within 3 months i should able to get any offer letter from companies.m I doing the right thing,any openings please let me know guys.

What's the average SM salary?

What is it like going from Sr Auditor to Sr Accountant in industry. I have an opportunity to get a pay jump and better hours to finish up CPA. Any advice would be great!

Are all Big 4 firms equally tone deaf, or is it just EY? I feel like they don’t address the fact that people are leaving in droves and the ones left behind are burnt out - we continue to have these big growth targets, but fewer and fewer people to actually do the work.

Are certs from Harvard Extension School worth the cost? Disregarding the intangible value “Harvard” brings on ur linked in profile?

Highest number of billable hours you have seen in a year?

Leaving PA for my dream school next year for a career pivot. However still have awhile before I can leave (there’s no reason to forgo a paycheck for even longer than I already have to…). I have no idea how I’ll make it through busy season without quitting on the spot 😩

How hard is it to go from FAAS/CMAAS to roles like FP&A and strategy consulting?

Are therapists typically blunt? I just started seeing one and she made me feel uncomfortable. I wasn’t expecting her to be harsh and negative in her assessment of me.

What is the M&A FDD group called in each of the big four? What should I search in the career portal?

Switched practice, found that I HATE the group dynamics. The work is dumb and not profitable. How soon is reasonable to ask to switch out, have to leave firm now?

What do managers and above think about seniors with expensive shoes and handbags? Thinking of investing in a very nice everyday bag.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Anyone interview at Apple before? What’s the interview process like?

PPEDs: Just found out that a Partner, who was promoted in 2017, was fired. IDK the circumstances. What can they expect to walk away with besides 401k & normal pension plan?

Should I get the Apple Watch 6 or wait to see if they announce an Apple Watch 7 later this year?

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?

Going to easily hit A List Preferred this year. That's a lot of flying.

Does anyone know what the starting salaries for Tax Associates and Technology Risk Consultants are within EY? I’m interested in joining on of these two positions but I’m unsure of salaries. TIA!

Would love referral for B4 or PA in Chicago? Industry and Internal Audit exp here, CPA.

What do CPA bonuses look like for other firms? Trying to find online is getting me nowhere.
