Hi all, I’m working with KPMG India. I had a question, i wanted to shift to the KPMG Middle East without quitting my job. So my question is that is this possible that i get an internal job switch with the same company to the middle eastern branch or does KPMG don’t allow you to do that?

Should I get a CPA for Transaction Due Diligence?
I’m a new grad working in FDD and I’m trying to decide if becoming a CPA is worth it. I do not plan on staying in accounting in the future. I’m more interested in strategy work. I certainly do not want to do Audit. Would you recommend getting the CPA considering my career aspirations? Do you think it’s worth it? If not, what is the best way to use my time efficiently?

Newbie looking for advice.

I currently have the CSP card (have for just over a year). I’m looking to get another CC to get a signup bonus but not sure which one to get. I don’t eat out a ton but do frequent chipotle a couple times per week (don’t judge 😂). I plan on doing a few international trips next year, hopefully with United/Star Alliance network. Should I get a United CC or something else? Or should I consider more than one? If so, any ideas?

I am short 1140 PQP short to maintain my United status. I have a Turkish airline flight booked, would this be enough to gain the needed PQP? Not sure how to check / calculate. Thanks!

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?

Bookkeeping service recommendations? Virtual service or through your CPA?

Hi Fishes. I am a L2 strat consultant with 2 years work experience seeking to move to a boutique consulting firm in the EU. Would anyone have any leads on companies with such openings that sponsor work visas as well?

I make $100K with 12% bonus and was offered a role $130k with 15-20% bonus. 4YOE in provider industry.

I am in a comfortable spot with a good team but the work is dull, new role would be consulting with more work & travel

I would appreciate pros/cons etc! Thank you.

🎇What’s your biggest win from 2021?

Drop it below, let’s celebrate 🥳

I teach British Lit. For anyone else who teaches this, what are some of your favorites to teach? I have been doing Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, Macbeth, Etc., but want to add something new this year

How many of you have a set curriculum and how many of you get to choose the literature/create your own content? Which do you prefer?

Those of you who do First Chapter Fridays or similar read-alouds, do you edit out curse words when you’re reading?

Does anyone have a good term paper topic for seniors? It needs to be persuasive/argumentative in nature.

What texts have you covered this year so far & which text have your students liked the best?!

I’m looking for some ideas for informational texts beyond just an essay. My students will be comparing the theme of a short work of fiction with the central idea of a nonfiction text.

When beginning a piece of literature, I first help the kids access the relevant culture. I have used web quests, but I have found that the kids researching their choice of topics and creating Slides containing information and pics results in more students participating. Recently they researched heraldry for the Medieval Era and reproduced either a family crest that they found or created their own personal crest. Anyone have other activities they use?

Anyone have any good advice for getting students to think/respond on their own? So many times when I ask them to write their own thoughts about something and to explain why they hold that opinion, many students get stuck and/or turn to the Internet. And then I find myself repeating, I’m asking for YOUR thoughts about this, not someone else’s. I teach grades 9 & 11.

What are you reading for yourself? I'm rereading Henry Miller...
