Sell sides are the worst. Crazy how little grasp some companies have over their operations. Have had some that can barely give us a decent headcount detail. Like bro who are you even paying each month if you can’t tell me who is employed???

likefunny

So true about the headcount data. You’ll ask for something so simple and they return with a semi annual count of terminated employees.

Are you getting support on your team now? And are you in MM? That seems so much more frequent there. (I’m in MM too)

Agree with A&M, Big4 has the same messes, but with more accounts, and more pressure from BB IBs and MF clients to meet tight deadlines. Big4 will not solve your displeasure, i would switch to a Corporate gig
