I’ve been in accounting 5+ years, mostly AP/AR/payroll. I’m a veteran, mom of 4, and have ADHD. I had a Big 4 internship I loved—it kept my brain engaged—but now I’m in a stable 9–5 where I’m not learning or growing. I want to go back to Big 4 but I’m scared I’ll fail my kids or burn out. Has anyone made the leap with a family and felt it was worth it? I’m stuck between comfort and growth.

Hello everyone, I'm a cs grad student graduating in may making a career transition from mechanical eng to cs. I had an internship but its been hard to find a fulltime dev role.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

How do you for sure if big 4 is not for you?

Starting us off with an important tip: Your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. It should include relevant jobs, responsibilities, and perhaps most importantly, achievements. Where you can quantify an accomplishment or just talk up a major project you led at work or in an internship, do so. The point is to make the hiring manager think, “Wow, I need to talk to this person! They seem like a good fit!”

Biggest cringe for me has got to be when people include “ex-<company name>” in their title… see it for loads of the big 4 firms and I’m thinking wow you must love slave drivers that underappreciate you 🤣
