Is it a better career path to complete a third year as an associate in Audit at PwC in NYC, or to switch now into FDD at a firm like Baker Tilly or Forvis Mazars in NYC? Also, would staying a third year as an associate at PwC negatively impact my marketability?

If fdd is your long term plan - I’d switch earlier and learn that work asap

Switching earlier is better if you want a different career. The longer you stay the harder it is to switch into a new role - you get pigeon holed.

I agree with Manager 1. Switching is the best way to grow and change careers. If you stay too long you will get pigeonholed which is what happens to a lot of people.

I’ve been a paralegal for about 30 years in private law firmS. As I get older, I feel like it’s time for a semi-career change. Either an office manager position or perhaps a corporate position where I can travel a little since my kids are grown and I’m an empty-nester. Has anyone made this type of transition? Advise welcome.

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow.

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
