Not at all. It can be better but it can be worse. Just do your due diligence, ask good questions, and make sure you get paid for leaving public.

Not at all. It depends a lot on the culture of the place you’re going to and the people you’d be working with and reporting to.

PRETTY GREEN OVER HERE!

Currently a second year associate in audit and looking for - as ridiculous as it sounds - better pay and better hours. I really like audit but I have only been with the firm for a little over a year and i’m burnt out and worse, starting to lose passion for it. I think the long hours are just not for me. Any recommendations of industries/ careers where an audit experience fits well? (As a side note, I’m considering changing practice within the firm, but wanted to look at all options).

What does it mean if you get feedback such as “know the room better?” I came across a team email that was addressed to my account team, and I approached my boss about my response to it.

Funny thing is a strategy lead just responded back to the team with the exact response I came up with, and my boss agreed with her...

I really need help from everyone here: I am a tax senior, and I have offer from both EY and MNP. I was at Deloitte earlier and I am not sure which to pick. Same package/benefits.

I don't know much but people say MNP is a great organization. The people I will work with are all amazing to speak during interview. What to do now?

Aunts & uncles. I visited until busy season which is when my sis-in-law started staying home.
Her and my brother complained about how I didn't go by, which is clearly because of the crazy work schedule- I'm dying to see my niece again!
I started making a serious effort to go by on days that are slow for me, and she is somehow always busy or it's a bad day when I want to go. She suggests a day that I'm busy. 🤦‍♀️ Then they complain when I'm there that I never go by.
Anyone go through this?

Do you have someone in your office/group that you just loathe? They’ve only been on good projects with strong project teams since they’ve started.

How do you get past feeling jealous and annoyed because you work your ass off and are supposedly a top performer but still get put on shit projects with no help? Is it really just time to walk? Been here for 4 years.
