You’ll have imposter syndrome but truth is, none of us tax folks really understand everything. Don’t doubt yourself—some of the best folks we’ve hired have been from smaller firms.

These responses are just silly. Get in there, show them you know what you are doing and you will be accepted almost immediately. Will there be some other theoretical partner/director candidates who worry? Sure. But just do your thing and it will all work out

Depends on the end goal. If you want to make partner, just let yourself get cooked until you get there

Where are you coming from?

😂 I was joking but yea. At least in my region going from national to B4 in terms of house is a massive jump.

Thankfully I’m out of PA though now.

What firm and group are you going to?

No, you’ll do fine if you are ready to put in the effort.

I think it depends on the team and the workload. I’m sure the first few months will be tough.

Not cooked- roasted :D

Not at all. That is the route I took and had a very long and successful tenure with a B4. Many have done this.

What kind of job do audit seniors typically leave for?

I joined EY in January. Had no work all of January, but was busy for February and some of March. I have been unassigned for about 4 weeks now, sending availability emails to all of the service lines we are allowed to reach out to for work. I should not have come here 🤦🏼‍♂️ I know it’s nice to have some down-time, but when every day is staring at a computer, the days are SO long.

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
