Seniors, stop doing this! Everytime I ask my Senior a question, she answears me back in a rude way being bitchy and ironic as I was supposed to know. I hate this! If I'm asking is because I dont know. Also, she just throw a project at my without me explaining and when I go to her asking, the rudeness is back. She is an accountant, Im a lawyer and when she needs my Law skills she is so kind, but when is the other way around...geez 😒 this week I decided to do something by myself (cont)

Is your senior extremely busy? I get mean when I'm extremely busy. I try to control it but sometimes it just gets away from me and I do it without even realizing. What works for me is when someone calls me out on it. If someone told me I dont appreciate your tone, I know you are busy but I'm doing my best and need help. I would apologize and try harder to be nicer.

EY1, you should really just quit responding now. The hole you're digging yourself has gone from impressive to just sad.

As you like to say, see everything you wrote here as a failure and grow from it.

This is something that myself and several other friends of mine experienced going into the Big 4 out of law school. Senior level accountants (not all, obviously) have this need to show the associates fresh out of law school that “just because you went to law school doesn’t mean anything” and that they are “in charge.”

The most impressive thing about lawyers at EY is this uncanny ability to always find a way to mention that they’re an attorney within a minute of first meeting them. In the unlikely event that your don’t remember that they’re an attorney the next time you talk, it isn’t a problem because they will always find an opening to remind you, even if they have to create the opening.

it totally reminds me of this one professor I had in LAW SCHOOL studying to become an attorney, which I now am. it is kind of like being an accountant just a little bit better.

I bet you’re wondering why, as a licensed attorney, I am here on a team that does compliance work in volume - I can assure you it’s not because it was my only option after not landing at a law firm - it’s because I wanted to be closer to the work, get some real hands-on practical experience. Just remember if you run into a a complex legal question, I can explain it to you in layman’s terms

Also a lawyer in the big 4 and the struggle to get support is real. Just bc we are more adult and not kids fresh out of college doesn’t mean we don’t need help when we don’t know something. We will see how it ends for me. Currently on PIP and wondering why I was hired if there is no willingness or ability to get our types up the curve.

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar.
