We: what is the CPE hour required for EY staff/senior per year?

Considering obtaining a CFE certification. Can anyone share their experience vs experience obtaining CPA? I’m already a CPA. I just want a comparison of study time requirement and difficulty of exam.

If you’re at a small creative agency that mostly does project work, does that mean you’re perpetually pitching?

Anyone else kind of bored clerking? I liked law school and thought I liked research and writing, but so far this district court clerkship has been pretty boring—lots of state law issues that are poorly briefed. Though to be fair, most of my time has been spent on one big case that I’m 99% sure is going to settle but not until the eve of trial bc that’s plaintiff’s counsel’s m.o.; so my work resolving the insane number of SJ and Daubert motions seems like a waste of my time.

Would you rather do Machine Learning at Big4 or Business Intelligence at FAANG?

How early in advance do you start preparing for a deposition that you are conducting? One month? One week? The night before?

Is a distribution supervisor job a decent stepping stone? Or a dead end for career progression?

After 3 years, the therapist disclosed that she’s in the program. I had wondered often about the source of her knowledge of the steps. Still I would’ve preferred her to remain anonymous in this regard. Now I keep wondering about whether I’ll see her at a meeting and what her story is. So odd. So self centered of me.

You might be able to transfer teams and life will be good again? :D

How did everyone do in their exams?

What are some of your favorite science podcasts to listen to?

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?

How is Intel project in infosys?

Is there any resources someone can point me to about the potential legal issues and more information from an HR perspective about contingent employees (temps, contract workers, part-time workers) versus normal FTE’s?

I’m working on a project for an HR class and finding good sources with real evidence about this from SHRM and news publications has been rough. Thanks!

Any good/new halal spots in the bay?

US peeps, what are you doing for thanksgiving?

Any Saudi folks here? Alf Mabrook!

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Accenture, you good mate? Too much turkey?

It’s been real uncle D, but the bag has called

Any strategy groups or MBB folks hiring? 3 years experience out of undergrad across multiple industries/functions. Looking mainly to learn about diff experiences and any potential opps (if applicable)

Just came from a salatul janazah.. 😢 😔 😞

Jummah Mubarak Fam 💚

Just wondering, any Ismailis out here?

Do you believe that there’s people who can “see” what’s in your life and near future when they pray for you and tell you?

What has been difficult for you in the endeavor to complete half your deen?

Any tips for having to attend a team lunch and a separate happy hour while fasting? Outside of Ramadan happy hours aren’t awkward bc I’ll just drink soda or something. However, now do I just sit there and stare at them when they are drinking/munching on their lunch ? 😂

Any parents here with 5-16 year old kids who are also struggling with this whole rainbow movement going on in US? My 7 year old daughter has to name her library teacher a “they” and tbh I don’t want school to daily influence how my kids think about these topics. Curious to hear and learn from how other parents are dealing with this

In light of everything that is going on, I would like to quote a simple yet powerful line from Prophet Mohammad (SAW) last sermon, in which he (SAW) says:

“A white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white – except by piety and good action.”

Looking for Ramadan specials to watch and bond with my family. Anybody have good suggestions? Thank you in advance

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

Haha it's a mix of product management, project management, product development, consulting work, technical stuff, analytical stuff. Literally anything the project needs to succeed haha
