I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to just “coast” in accounting once you hit a certain level. The work is manageable, the pay is solid, and nothing is forcing you to change. But I can’t tell if that’s a good thing or something that slows long-term growth. How do people stay intentional about their careers without burning out?

What happens is if you are coasting along your salary keeps bumping up maybe 5% a year but over time you get old and expensive….

Very true

I'm coasting by so I can't truly comment. I suppose by seeking out more opportunities you can avoid it. Personally I'm fine not to do so. Our job isn't worth rocking the boat for.

Thanks for sharing

Nothing wrong with it unless you do want more growth. Being comfortable in a job is a good thing, especially when you get to a point where the next level up is hard to find.

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate.

Any thoughts?

Hi all, I have recently received an entry level offer from BCG Dubai.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?
