Partners, directors, controllers, CFOs, etc. out there: at what point in your career did you realize that you were going to accomplish such a high position? I’m staff 1 and feel confident in myself, but don’t know if I have the qualities to move so high up. I wonder what your experiences were just starting out

AD 1 that is so great to hear. As a 25 year partner at PwC retiring on 6/30/21 it’s refreshing to hear such positive comments. Regardless of which firm you are with I wish you continued success as you move towards potential partnership.

Cheers to AD1 and PwC 1. These are the people I’ve been lucky enough to work with and for, and that made it an inspiring place to make a career.

When I was an associate I felt like I could have a long career with the firm just comparing myself to my colleagues. When I became a senior associate and discovered how much I enjoyed the job and how little stress I felt about the job compared to my colleagues I realized that I could probably become a partner in the firm. Nine years in and I still love the job and feel like it is not that stressful. I am more confident than ever that I will be a partner at the firm.

Good to hear. Cynicism, in my opinion, doesn’t reflect well on you. The humor is more flattering.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

I’m currently an HR specialist and trying to decide what I want my future to look like. I would like to step away from the transactional, administrative HR work. I’m fascinated by employee satisfaction and like the idea of helping to improve retention and leveraging metrics to improve toxic work environments (I’ve seen a fair share of dysfunction in my career). I’m thinking the Consultant route may be best for this. Any other thoughts of roles or titles that may align?
