Just got promoted to senior in audit and I honestly want to study and get to another field. I just feel like in PA, it's not about how competent or intelligent you are. What matters is that you're assigned to a team you have good chemistry with and that you kiss the partners ass.. I'm wrong or crazy?

You’re 100% right. You become more involved with more interesting stuff at senior manager and above.

Sorry to break it to you, but that's any job/field. You want to work somewhere where your drive/merit is directly correlated with success? Be your own boss and own your own business.

Agree with D2. Anywhere you work that is team-based will have one leader who you’ll have to report too. Your best bet is to go solo, avoid having a boss. Good luck

Public is all about time management, I have always worked fast and found that I can complete my work in about 4-5 hours of an 8-9 hour day. Then I use my free time to do what I want and have been a high performer since my first year. No brown nosing and no late nights for me, I do work in advisory now though

How's everyone doing?

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...
