Manager: “Do that this way”. Manager one month later: “Why did we do it this way? Doesn’t make sense. Fix”

Best practices to avoid burning out in FDD?

Book recommendations for Experimentation (for a noob)

Does anyone feel there brain just dosent grasp things as quick as others

My self esteem is on sale! 20 cents to the highest bidder.
I’ve gaslit my mom into thinking people have historically showed me romantic interest when that couldn’t be further from the truth. No one has ever liked me. There is no precedent in my life where anyone has showed me they cared about me romantically. Im destined to be alone.

After 15 years in the industry, I can really say that these last few years have been the most challenging in terms of navigating all the sensitivity and political correctness.

Is it true that cops get bonuses and rewards based on the amount of people they detain? Why whould such a thing exist?

Asking for a friend. What would a pretty jr person charge to write code for a 10-page site?

Has anyone successfully gotten their friend hired to their team? Has working with your friend been good, bad or the same for your friendship?

joining PWC as M2 soon. Does anyone know what is a realistic average bonus one can expect at M2 level

How’s your day going? Ghosted by both recruiter and HM. Why can’t people behave in a decent manner smh 😢

How do you tackle favoritism ? In market risk idk if that’s a trend here

does anyone have experience exiting after 1 year? any vengeful MD stories? my MD knows a lot of people and i’m scared if i interview or exit to one of these places that he has a connection at he might try to mess with my career...

What would you do?
My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

Does anyone have any insight on Adobe? I’m looking to apply for a role.

Turned on the "open to work" flag on LinkedIn and the recruiter messages have already increased in quality & quantity after one day. Highly recommend.

Typical analyst salary in London for a Tier 3-4 firm? Like big 4/ACN?

Leaving my big4 firm halfway through busy season to pursue a great career opp.. I feel bad but I gotta do it. How much notice should I give? I want to be as respectful to my teams busy season staffing as possible, is giving them more than 2 weeks notice risky?

How do you feel about egg salad/tuna in the audit room?

I think I’m ready to leave public accounting. Where do I even begin? (See more in comments)

Finally had my busy season cry after the staff told the team that he put in his two weeks. I'm crying because 1. We are so screwed and 2. why don't I have the courage to do something like that.
I'm turning 29 this year and usually a stone-hearted bitch but never failed to cry during busy seasons. I think it's time to get out.

I want to quit without a job lined up. This sucks so bad that I don't even have words for.

Anyone else just feel sick and tired all the time?

I accepted an offer a few weeks ago at a consulting firm, I start mid April, but now I feel the salary is low and I should’ve negotiated more. Can I still negotiate even if I already signed the offer?

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…

How to look about for opportunities for Acca candidate who has 3y experience in external audit ? Looking for suggestions ! Thanks

Would you accept the same amount of money to leave Big4 (no salary bump)? Perks are knowing you’ll work less, more flexibility, less stress, no busy season hours etc.

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work . BUT managers are terrible at planning and recently end up putting me in preventable situations where I need to work 55 hrs or have the staff work the 55 hours. I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?

At what point are you too specialized to lateral to internal audit? (PA, consulting, or industry roles) Currently have 2 years of external audit experience and 2 years of forensics: I always thought of internal audit as a decent exit but I’m beginning to get worried about getting too specialized to make that move one day

Anyone here at Friedman?

Thinking of moving there from another midsize

Do you sometimes read your evaluation, all you want to is to quit and you can dispute on everything they say?

What are reasonable exit opportunities from transaction advisory/fdd? I am considering a position in this but am concerned with getting stuck too far down the road.

An auditor myself, I constantly feel many ppl working at audit look down on ppl working in industry and other practices, which I don’t understand at all. Do they truly believe their job is superior or they just say so to make both you and them feel better about this job?

Has anyone ever done evening team check-ins and found benefits to having status updates at the end of the day vs morning? Asking about this in terms of working from home on an audit. Thanks!

Has anyone found a good CPE lecture or presentation on analyzing SOC-1s and mapping to controls?

How do I show my supervisors I am ready for a promotion to manager?

Do you think it’s a good idea to have a chat with the partner who interviewed you after starting the job? What should you talk about with the partner?

Anyone looking for a job? Remote for a small firm, great company/culture.
