KPMG I’m interested in learning more about your AWA alternative work arrangements. Any success stories? When would be the appropriate time to request one? Are certain types more likely to be approved than others? What does a compressed work schedule entail?

You fill out a form and then your PML approves it. I think HR can provide the form if you call the HRSC. For busy season, I was told a few years ago, the expectation was 40 hr/week if you are doing 80% as a manager (chargeable goal of 50 hours x 80%). Unfortunately, I don't have a success story for you. Mine fell through due to client having a lot of special transactions and I got burnt out taking care of a baby and working full-time. I would say if you want to do it, be firm and stand your ground that working full-time is not possible for you in this season of life. Resource management should be figuring out staffing constraints. Don't feel pressured to say you will get off of your AWA.

EY has a similar feature. I knew several people on it, and it seemed like the biggest issue was maintaining your boundaries on number of hours. Don't feel guilty getting up and leaving, because you're voluntary taking a pay cut. Communicate to your team the expectation (especially your seniors and staff) multiple times, to help reiterate it.

We also require more hours during busy season. This is where I saw people work the most (not full busy season hours, but over 40 hours) , because they felt like it was abandoning their team otherwise.

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet. I am wondering if it is because industry folks are not familiar with my firm. I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
