(Links in the comments) I'd like to nominate Horizon from the UK Post Office as the world's worst accounting system. It's literally putting innocent people in prison.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?

Can one of you awesome people please scan my resume for a ZS Associates referral?

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

I love international tax (in core) and don’t mind compliance at all but it’s been nearly 100% of what I do. Any ways of balancing out with more structuring/planning?

Some background: there’s only 3 of us IT locally and with the departure of our SM, the little structuring/planning work I do see will probably dry up when they leave. Do I network with other bigger offices to pick up that kind of work?

Any Amazon counsel or other FAANG attorneys willing to share how their comp review has worked? I’m really happy with my offer(lower base, really high signing bonus and decent RSUs) and was told their would be yearly comp reviews but wondering how that plays out the first few years...

Anyone have the contact for recruiter for HUGE Oakland?

What is the highest percentage increase you have negotiatied for an internal position? Wondering if all companies typically bump 5-10% for the next paygrade range or is there opportunity for 20-30% jumps.

How come I have a snapshot that has all partially at level but the comments are all super positive?! The words for development is to keep the attitude and work up... (my first ever snapshot here)

Anyone has insights into whether we can claim depreciation for our “home office” due to WFH? Not an expert here but looks like it’s for self employed individuals only, but maybe the individual tax experts in this community can help everyone out a bit 🤪

My HR rep told me that to apply for your CPA license in MA you only need 1 year of work experience, not 2009 billable hours. Didn't sound right- can anyone confirm/deny?

For overseas ACCA accountants who have relocated to the US and have become US CPA's, how do you compare the difficulty level of the ACCA exam versus the CPA exam ?

I wonder if we’ll still have minimum billable hours if WWIII breaks out

Is middle market transaction services/advisory equal to big 4 audit? Basically, would a big 4 transaction services group like MM TS experience or big 4 audit experience more?

Leaving Big 4 for industry. Is it really bad if you don’t give 2 week notice?

Wanted to give my 2 weeks after April 15 but now who knows when we will be back☹️ need to pass this damn cpa exam

So many people are quitting. I understand why. We are underpaid, industry jobs offer more money and more work-life balance. Are these firms going to do anything to prevent this from continuing?

I moved from CA to WA, do I transfer my CPA through interstate reciprocity or another method? Which state will I submit CPE to in the future?

Would your perspective and/or stay at a Big4 have changed if they changed their comp model? I.e. those people who worked a ton of hours during the year were paid much more (say via bonuses like in IB)

Has anyone ever lost there phone number when trying to leave the PwC because they were on the company plan?

Would you leave the big 4 as a SM for 100% raise (all in) even if you knew you’d make PPMD within the next 3-6 years?

What are hours like in Big 4 Forensics?

Is working at a local 1-2 office firm where you do tax, audit, and bookkeeping more interesting than just sticking to audit or tax?

Currently renting for ~ $1500/mo in a low COL city. My lease ends in Dec and am looking to purchase a property and get into rental game. I have $40K in bank, but I’m not sure what my max investment should be or will be approved for. Would it be feasible to keep renting and also try to rent out a purchased rental property given my liquid cash?

What makes you really happy?

Our team was about to get a new manager but when an exec mentioned her name to the client, the client said she heard bad things about her and would prefer them not on the team. Anyone hear of that b4?

So can we claim the trophy of being the worst of big 4 now? Not to brag, but I think we are kind of in the lead here 🌝
