There's a mix of opinions in this thread but I'd love to hear what this group thinks. Is offshoring going to be our demise or is it overrated? Maybe this is a "can't beat them, join them" situation?

Seems like salaries have gone up a decent amount the last few years. At least in public accounting

Seriously I don’t know what they’re getting at. A1 salaries at my firm have gone up 20k in the last four years from when I started. Maybe they’re looking at unlicensed small industry jobs?

Salaries are more expensive and PPP is going up in the areas where we outsource over time. The long term and better solution is to automate things because eventually it will be about the same cost whether it is in house or outsourced.

Birth rates are lower in the US so likely the pool of potential resources will go down here, which could limit US business growth, so it would make sense to outsource currently

By PPP, are you referring to purchase price parity? How is that relevant when outsourcing allows a firm to earn revenue in one currency and pay expenses (labor) in a different currency?

Hey Fishes, happy Sunday!

My sister had received an offer letter for the "Functional Consulting - Analyst" role on 7th September, 2021. Been over a year now but have not heard back anything.

Although when we were able to get in touch with an HR, we were assured that we would be receiving a call letter after a month/week but that was 4-6 months back... No correspondence since then.

Anyone in a similar situation? Is there a clear way to know when the call letter would be released?

So what’s the best agency right now, in terms of culture, work/life balance (lol), and work?

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.

Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.
