Having seen some of the wild stuff in the past couple years does anyone have a good pointer for a basic “medic” course? Help slow/stop the “oh sh*t” for the real folks to get there?

Hi, I am a 21-year-old who graduated from uni in January 2022 business administration with a concentration in management bachelor.

I sharpened my project management skills, now I am working on strategic management continuing in the comment...

Not my ideal exit but I accepted an offer at another Big4 for a 26 percent hike in base.

I can’t decide if Im happy or sad. I’m relieved for now.

Maybe stop saying yes to matters that are too small to justify our rates and staffing an expensive senior person on them when you’re already dying trying to get anything staffed. You didn’t have to do shit on this matter, didn’t hear you complaining about my taking the lead and managing everything for you when that was happening. >.>

Let’s talk speed reading. I’m a slow reader and listened to a podcast recently on speed reading. I’m intrigued. Who here speed reads? How did you learn those skills, and what types of documents do you speed read in practice?
