Welcome
I think we need more staff always but no one is willing to acknowledge that - easier to leave people struggling as a way to build 'experience' than actually solve the problem at the root of it
Sounds like a you problem, at least partially. Are you asking for support? I always ask my teams if they understand and want me to walk through stuff with them. If they say no, I let them run with it - and just check in daily. There is no harm in advocating for yourself - in fact, it is looked upon as you're trusting of your team. Good luck
I'm at big four now and was previously at a midsized firm. At the midsized firm as a staff, I was present for all the walkthroughs and coached after (not sure if this is still the case for staff since COVID/remote work). At the big four the poor staff are never invited to the walkthrough and somehow expected to document it, and then they wonder why people leave.
My team did not do this when I was at PwC. We coached prior to the meeting and after. Seniors and above would run the meeting. Staff would take notes.
And your proposed solutions?
Everyone is busy and has a million things to do
Tech risk is external audit at certain companies. Maybe not at KPMG but Others yes.
Don't worry great learning opportunity
Fixing the root cause requires more people/resources. However, as some have said above -- it's possible to change the structure of training/feedback. What do you feel like the most valuable changes would be?
Hi there. I'd say not a smooth start but I think that's a great opportunity to learn and grow. Have you tried talking to your manager about this?
Hmm. Have you tried talking to your manager about your concern? I feel like you will be at a disadvantage if the performance review comes.
