Switch to advisory. Get in and get out. Might be more engaging than audit / tax.

I agree. Be wise in taking the good experience out of it and pivoting somewhere else.

Yup totally relate that’s why I got out after a year.

Same. That’s why I think I’m leaving. Constant energy drain. Constant feeling of drowning. No change in sight staying in audit.

Parents are deciding between moving to WVirginia vs Virginia at retirement to be closer to us based in fairfax (ideally be at 1 hour driving distance). They currently in the mid west but WVirginia appeals to them because of low taxes, low cost of living. We are also poc so appreciate some diversity.

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets.

But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

I'm entering my final year of law school but am going part time since I work full time as a paralegal. I have been a paralegal for more 10+ years and I want to open my own firm after I pass the bar.

I've worked at a lot of different size firms including a startup with a few attorneys and I was able to help with a lot of the ground work with getting the practice management system in place and still do some of that now at my current firm. Has anyone done this right out of law school? Any advice?
