Been doing accounting for over a year, I am well adversed in accounting, payroll, sales tax, and taxes, have done accounting for companies generating up over 10 million dollars in revenue. Everyone at my firm got a pay bump about a few months back but I’m still stuck at $15 the hour. Am I getting taken advantage of? I’ve also worked through a tax season and have been putting out 80-90 hour weeks consistently. Haven’t stopped working 60+ hour weeks since May. Almost 21. Any help????

What’s your advice to improve one’s executive presence?

Practice has been growing rapidly but I’ve been in a rut as a few projects went on ice due to COVID, and have been swinging and missing on BD. In parallel, my Practice Leader has been crazy busy because of said growth and has missed last few check-ins with me. He’s also my main PPMD sponsor. So am feeling demotivated and a little unloved. Trying not to take it personally, but any tips on how I can get out of this rut?

Hi Partners! Last year when there was no bonus etc, it was my best year in EY and I actually made more money at EY compared to my previous years or this year(including the bonus and raise this year).

Any tips?
