Hello fishes,
I have a background in finance and 6+ YOE of professional work experience, I had to leave CA in between due to family emergency and started working (although only 1 group of CA final is left, 1 is cleared already), so can anyone provide an insight if being CA qualified is a mandatory requirement in EY and EY GDS in position of Manager in Accounting, auditing,FAAS,AWM teams etc
Would appreciate any insight, as seems HR everywhere just see degree and not the relevant work ex..

Always trust your gut.
Speaking from experience, always pay attention to your gut.
It might depend on the concerns, but the fact is- you have them, something doesn't seem right, and you should listen to your instinct and put yourself first.
Not looking to project my experience onto you, but I will share my story because I personally have been in this situation. (I didn't have beforehand concerns, but once I got started I felt like a square page in a round hole.) I chalked it all up to new job, new environment, new city things.
"It'll get better when I'm more settled in."
"It'll get better when we get through this event"
"It'll get better when we fill XYZ role."
I "It'll get better when-ed" my way through 3.5 years of difficulty and stress that left me stripped of my confidence and with very low self esteem.
Looking back, I knew from the start it wasn't the right environment for me. I recently came across my journals from that time. On day 3, I started crying. 6 months in I rationalized my way through completely unreasonable expectations - trusting that they were reasonable because no one else seemed to be questioning my workload, so it must just be me, right?
It's taken over a year (and some therapy) for me to heal to the point where I feel good about myself again and don't spend my brain power on that shitty situation.
I guess I had to go through it all to learn the lesson to follow my instincts. Life is too short to spend it miserable in a situation that isn't right for me. Put myself first.
Trauma bonds with work are real. Have you now been able to recognize it as such and make the shifts you need to feel like you can move on?
Avoid a toxic environment that will affect your mental wellness. If it’s not the right fit, explore options and start applying elsewhere.
I always trust my gut. It’s proven to be right around 95% of the time.
100% trust yourself. You know.
Trust your gut. I made took a role where a lot promises were made and the environment was on the outside what I was looking for. 3 months in and I knew it was all a lie and they purposefully try amd hide the bad from new employees to get them invested so they won't leave when the bad comes to light. I left after 6 months for an even better job, 3 months in I started looking. My boss was shocked and said I was doing so well. When I told him my reasons, such as toxic work environment, he literally said "oh you noticed that quick and that's nothing I'm not aware of." That right there told me I was doing the right thing in trusting my gut and making a quick move.
What concerns? Aren’t you there for the check only? What exactly are you trying to do in these ppl Business? I’d suggest everyone STOP trying to find ways to dislike their job and just get the check until you get a better job
Many of us are building careers, we want the bigger check for our time. When companies promise things like work/life balance, tuition reimbursement, internal training and growth. And it doesn’t come to fruition it can stagnate your career growth
Trust your gut. I literally just got laid off but had a feeling that the company was sneaky. Ultimately was laid off the day I came back from bereavement leave of a few days.
I had a coworker who had the similiar situation happen to. I knew what was going on because I was involved but I couldn't tell her. I had really started to apply then.
Your gut is usually right. I wasted 4 years on a job when the first week of training, I know it want not the job for me...
I’ve done this exactly. I left after 6 months and couldn’t be happier with that decision! I’ve been with my current firm for over 5 years since then :)
Trust your gut
Look for a new job
Always trust your gut. I thought I landed the perfect role for me 10 years ago. I was hired to help solution and implement a major initiative. Within 4 months, I was diverted to other initiatives, and there were whispers that my other initiative lost its funding. My manager wouldn't give me a straight answer, so I secured another job and quit. Within six months of my departure, the parent company pulled the plug on the subsidiary, and everyone lost their jobs.
Sounds like the vibes were off before you accepted the position. Not that I am trying to be Dr Phil but, humans tend to focus on things that prove what they already believe…I think it’s called Confirmation Basis. You will continue to focus on the bad vibes. So, better to find another job and quit sooner than later…Good 🍀!
I think jobs are like dating…usually the things in the back of your mind that you saw on the 1-5 date end up being way bigger than you initially shrugged off or tried to shrug off. And like dating, if you don’t listen to those signs, you might have a lot of regrets, wasted years, and hours in therapy trying to get back to your old self. Or the job is actually healthy and then you are in a lasting mutually beneficial relationship!
Trust your gut
Trust your gut. I should have in my last position. It turned out to be horrible and at the beginning of it I had several people tell me to jump ship soon
I stayed and it crushed me. Go with your gut. Get out of there. Fast.

Is there any way to discern whether I'm being overly cautious or if I'm valid in my concerns?
We’ve been given a gut for a reason.
Trust your gut.
30 year veteran of construction here grew up in a man’s world. Your gut is always in the back of your mind, but do not let your gut make decisions. Your brain should make if your brain in your gut or telling you the same thing that’s a different story. If you’re going slowly off of what your gut feeling is then, do not make the decision until your brain tells you this is wrong. Do not let it be an emotional decision emotions are not for business.

How do I know I'm not just rationalizing my gut feelings? My anxiety has been so high since being here.
