Pre-covid, what was “non-busy season” like? Did you still work from the client’s office or work from your home office?

What’s “non-busy season”?

likefunny

I worked mostly at the office. Extremely chill and visited friends whenever i wanted to chat. normal hrs too

Varies by firm & office. I was probably at clients 25% of the time? Mostly worked from the office on 401ks or less pressing client matters.

At the client most of the time. I was on one engagement that was a little over an hour away for everyone, and we still had to be there every day. Even on Friday’s, when nobody that we needed to talk to was working in the office.

Needless to say, I hope that changes when we go back

Highly client dependent. Friday at home many times, but other 4 days either in the office or client site as needed

I have an off-reason client I never go to in person because it’s small and not necessary for getting the audit done. I had another one where I spent most of the summer and early fall there because the audit would never get finished if we didn’t stand over them.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

(Also would really appreciate some likes on this post to get my 11 likes out of the way 😀)

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
