New college grad hires are adorable. One of them starting a project soon had this in his intro email, "I will do whatever it takes to prove that I'm a good resource." Bruh, I ain't Jesus. Chill!

He did the EY engagement economics training recently. Every person is referred to as a "resource" in the modules. Hence the aforementioned jargon.

Hey everyone! I am a CPA, started at PwC, now the assistant controller at a small/medium sized Ag company. Thus far, the plan has been to follow the CFO path. But recently I have been longing for more social/client facing interactions. I am very extroverted. I love meeting and connecting with new people and would like to incorporate that into my career. Any thoughts on possible career paths that would combine my experience in accounting with a more socially fulfilling job?

Thanks I’m advance!
