Is it a good exit opportunity for B4 audit senior manager to go work for the PCAOB? Benefits sound nice but not sure what the path of progression is over there.

I’m about 6 months from senior promo and I’m really ready to get out. How important is it to make senior? Also don’t yet have a CPA if that’s relevant

Getting my PhD at an M7. I’m well aware of the pipeline for PhDs for the generalist track, can someone shed light on whether I’d be able to recruit as a SME straight from the program?

Hi Folks,

can anyone tell me how the regulatory reporting role will be in Societe Generale. TIA

Can anyone give me a few recommendations for remote job searches I've exhausted LinkedIn and indeed and really need a career change

What kinds of opportunities are there for senior managers trying to get out of public accounting? Going from mid sized firm to industry. Been through one too many busy seasons. I’m done!

Deal execution analyst at mega fund —> MBA —> investment professional at MM PE?

Is this a logical progression?^^^

Anyone else tired of recruiters? Number one why do you make so much when your only job is scanning LinkedIn and second how are you so arrogant when you only solve hiring people and no customer or internal problems. Like I get that you’re needed, but what do you actually do that justifies these salaries lol. Figured this would be nice topic to vent on for people doing the real work haha.

Any Financial Services consultants here? Interested in connecting and expanding your network?

I’ve had issues since high school, but just formally got diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve always managed to get by okay at work (I’m no super star), but remote meetings have been really difficult for me and I now feel like I’m barely hanging on. Trying meds now, but no benefits yet. Pros and Cons of disclosing the diagnosis to my team, partner, or firm? I’m torn.

Soul Searching . . . Any recommendations on courses, programs, books, or methods that will help with career soul-searching?

I have been doing consulting for a few years post MBA and have not felt a sense of fulfillment. I’m exploring what I want to do next and would love to know what has helped you.

If you work at a Big 4 L&E firm, what are your biggest gripes of the firm?

Feeling that I never land an offer from Google. I have tried many times and in my last try, I passed phone screening but recruiter ghosted me...
I am not sure what is wrong...
When I apply with referral, my resume always pass screening and shared with managers. But then no response.
When I get feedback on my resume and experience, people always mention "impressive". I feel desperate...Being in less challenging role at Amazon makes everything worse.

I am Finance Analyst. Any suggestions? Ideas

Hi all! I’m inclined on taking up the CIPM training and certification exam. I’m already a certified Data Protection Officer in the Philippines. I intend on skipping CIPP as it applies to the US and EU.

How difficult was the exam? Can you share your experience studying for the CIPM exam? Is it advisable to skip CIPP?

Many thanks in advance.

Favorite font for meeting notes and other stuff in Word? What about emails?

I was laid off from Deloitte in the 18th. I have an interview with Amazon for a Senior Program Managers Non Technical position with Amazon hiring manager on Monday. Any advice would be much appreciated. I would love to get into Amazon. I hear their interview process is brutal.

My husband never reads and wants to start reading as a new hobby. What is a good book that you would recommend for a 40 year old man? Not self help books, but maybe something with action. I think he would like the Bourne series, but he saw all the movies so he's not interested, but something similar.

Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.

Hi Fishes,

I got email from LTI "Thank you for applying to LTIMindtree and going through our complete selection process" on 27 Sept but after 1 week I follow up on offer letter she said my approval got rejected due high expectation (35% hike ). We re-negotiate at 6 Oct (30% hike). Now they will release offer letter or not ?

I've applied and networked for my dream job and didn't get an interview this time. Also dissatisfied with compensation and some of the responsibilities at my current job but have a lot of opportunity to learn. So the question is do I stay where I'm not thrilled to be now because it's good experience to set me up for the dream job next time there's an opening, or do I leave now to an option that's better pay and more interesting but farther off the path towards my long term goal?

Is EY on a hiring spree? Saw a fortune post yesterday that mentioned ey is planning to hire abt 4500 positions.

I have a case interview coming up soon. I never thought about working with a case coach or study group that some websites offered but some people highly suggest them instead of working solo. What's your take on this? Should I really pay for some premium service even though I feel comfortable with case interviews?

Has anyone worked at a smaller firm that was acquired by, or merged with, another firm? How was that experience for you?

Good exit? To technical accounting or SOX accounting?

Is MBA a must to go into the consulting practice (finance and enterprise performance) at Deloitte? Or having your CPA sufficient?

Currently a staff 2 in audit at a big 4 firm (will be promoted to senior later this year), and I’m curious about switching into FDD. I’ve been seeing the referral plugs in here from all of the FDD folks, but it’s mainly been directed at those with more experience. Should I wait it out to make the switch or would I stand a chance with only 1.5 years of experience?

If you are planning to leave your job and your current employer asked you if you were leaving for another job but you hadn't passed the background or drug test would you respond honestly? Why or why not?

Are roles in large established FMCG (Unilever, P&G, Mondelez etc) still a good training ground for people early in their careers?

I ask as I'm looking for my next career move. However my friend has mentioned that a lot of them have frequent restructuring as they follow the zero-based budgeting methodology in a time when they are pretty mature.

Was wondering if any fishbowlers have insight or work in large FMCG, who could shed some light.

Had my first discussion with a recruiter. Feels kind of good

What are the well known advisory accounting firms outside of Big4 ? I’m looking to exit in a advisory role.

I’m applying to jobs in a high COL area and am currently living in a low COL area. I plan to stay in the low COL area and work remotely until offices open back up which won’t happen this year. As I’m interviewing and negotiating salary, I want to be reasonable and fair. Should I negotiate 2 salaries, a lower salary for the time i work remotely in a low COL area and then a higher salary for when I relocate to the high COL area?

Has anyone made the move to go back to school to change career or is planning to do so? Interested to hear your story!
