None of my work gets reviewed and people get pissy when it’s wrong, even though 98% of it is right. It’s giving me pretty severe anxiety. What do I do? Change groups? Change companies? Change careers?

Thank you for that CD1

Don't sweat it.
If your work wasn't reviewed it wasn't important. I'm more upset that it's not reviewed, than I am that they find error in it.

Why did you make me do it, if you didn't care? I could've played an extra round of Wii-Golf.

Exactly. I've had items prepared and though my review, then it takes 3 months for final sign off by the director/partner (and I am fully transparent and communicate multiple times that shit need to be reviewed). I had a partner legit blow up on me because of how calm I was coming up on deadlines. I understand that things come up and stuff will get put on the side burner, but I'm not going to get worked up when I've done all I can

Not sure how far up the chain you are, but at some point you need to be responsible for your own work.

Nobody is ever going to be error free, that’s part of being human. But you can’t run away from your problems. You need to learn how to problem solve if an error occurs. If you’re managing people, part of the job is also fixing their errors and smoothing things over should it become a bigger issue.

I’m an associate. The stuff I’m catching is shit that didn’t get reviewed last year as a first year, but this year I’m smart enough now to realize what is and isn’t correct. I guess actually the person that reviewed was more of a liability than anything because she was a moron. So like it got reviewed but not really because my was/is made up of people that aren’t incredibly good.

Just to clarify, if it changes the context for anyone, technically it was reviewed last year but it was reviewed by a moron who legitimately didn’t know/care. Like shouldn’t have their CPA bad. And my team isn’t super wigged about it, it’s probably more so internal anxiety and having to discuss why we were wrong. Maybe I just need some anti anxiety meds lmao.

Are these like small things like assumptions in models? Or formulas themselves?

Concepts, the formulas are fine. E.g. where I was obviously showing a reconciling amount and the YE balance should have been adjusted but wasn’t. Or like where a reclass shouldn’t be necessarily be included in our m adjustments. I haven’t found anything too weird yet, but I’ve found a couple areas that make me question everything else.

like

Depends on the error type- some minor errors can be overlooked- but depending on your rank and YOE, the expectation could be that your work shouldn’t have to be continuously checked. If your team doesn’t have a peer checking process in place I’d push back for more time to self-review. If I’m expected to turn something around ASAP with no peer review, there’s a chance I’ll find errors the next day. If I have 1-2 days to revisit and refine then at that point I don’t think there should be any errors. Also keep a running checklist around if you find yourself repeating the same errors.

Keep following up with your reviewer(s) and ask for timing of when they expect to review. If they’re unresponsive on chat, email as well so it’s documented. Your reviewer(s) should be taking the time to review and get their comments back to you, but it’s likely that they’re busy and have other items on their plate. If you have to, go to the person above them to see what’s going on.

Have any of you told your family how much money you make? My family has never asked but I feel like my partner’s family is always trying to figure it out and it makes me uncomfortable. They assume that I make a lot because I’m an attorney. I often get comments like “well you can afford it because you’re a lawyer.” I do well for myself but I am far from rich. I am so grateful to have a job but I’d rather not disclose my salary to anyone other than the IRS.
