Hi everyone! Looks like it’s been a while since some spoke on this bowl. Really excited about social impact and looking forward to moving into this space full time. Any tips on how to? I would preferably like to work with a tech/global company with a focus on social entrepreneurship. Thanks in advance for the help 😊

Anyone tried the new Sanctions Certificate (CGSS) offered by ACAMS? Trying to see how difficult it is considering I don't have a lot of experience with sanctions compliance. I have CAMS & work in AML

Is anyone else having the worst time switching jobs? I’ve been applying for a year and haven’t gotten any job offers even though I get interviews. If anyone knows of a headhunter I could reach out to though I’d be so appreciative! I’m so frustrated….

Currently at a top management consultancy with base $75k, anyone know what firms / in-house I could look at that offer higher base salaries for a Paralegal with 6 years experience?

Currently interviewing with EY NZ as a risk management consultant. 1.5 yoe and expat from US. I have a rough idea for cost of living, so what should my minimum salary expectation be in Auckland? The position would allow me to work from anywhere in NZ but I'd prefer to be close to the office for at least the first year. Thank you!

Help- my FBIL is refusing to rent a tux for our wedding because he already owns one. It is a different tuxedo. We would like everyone in the same tux, which I don’t think is crazy to ask for? It’s not a financial issue and it’s not some sort of weird style. 11 other men will be in the rental, it will be obviously different. We’re paying a lot for formal pictures and while this isn’t a tragedy by any means, it is upsetting to my fiancé and I, especially as we ALWAYS go with everyone else’s flow.

Hi fishes,

Today I got an email from TCS to complete an ibegin registration. Whenever I login, it is asking me to enter PAN details and mail ID. If I give, it is giving a warning that my account is already present in ibegin and telling me to login with another email ID. As if I remember, one of the consultancy, used my PAN to register in ibegin but I’m unable to login since it is registered by their mail ID and my PAN.

Citius Tech. I asked for 30LPA. HR said it's not at all a problem.
Manager was fine with my profile in 2nd round and he said he will move to next client round. HR mailed me next day like like the client band is less and working on it.

Yesterday the HR replied that they can't match my expectation and thanks for applying.

Hare yaar. It's you who called me. I purposely said if you have budget proceed. Without even knowing that these HR's are working. Time waste for their employees too.

Bonvoy-ers: anyone else get assigned a new ambassador today?

For a male, I have extremely skinny wrists (think skinny girl wrists) but I’m looking to invest in a nice watch. What do you all recommend? Leather bands are preferable

It’s amazing the power that asking easy-to-answer questions can have on a community. It’s a great way to get nervous users more comfortable with engaging.

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

Anyone else on public accounting an ENFP? Is it just me or is this career a struggle with thus personality type? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Any international transfer suffering from ACCA?

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?

I’ve been in public accounting for about 6 years and I feel like I need a certification. The CPA is not happening. What would be the most valuable CIA , CFE , CMA of CISA?

I resigned yesterday evening.. today morning conversation with counselor and People Consultant went very cold... anyways piece out..

Which firms have the best tech/software?
What is Big 4 ranking in terms of tech?
How about local firms?

My laptop always crashes because it cant handle the software we use. Im on 3rd laptop.


Looking at making the jump, have offers from all the B4 and a few locals. Currrent tech is my biggest stressor and sometimes losing hours worth of work just ruins my day/week.

Primarily focused on Private Equity, and HNW.

When #howshouldweaccountforme posts your submission 😆

Working with no budgets in any team. Partners indirectly encourage you to eat up hours. End of year it’ll hit my util even tho im 150% utilized. Getting sick of this nonsense.

I’m bringing my printed resume paper for my job interview just in case. Do y’all think the quality of the paper matters? I just use regular Amazon basic printer paper on lol

Spell check in fishbowl is killing me - it keeps changing words without me noticing!

People who left recently (from EY or PWC), or going to leave soon, do you have mixed feelings on the mid-year raises?

How do I work 55-60 hour weeks and have 50 percent utilization?

How hard is it to find a fully remote tax job in industry?

Question for my friend at KPMG. Her MDs and Partners have been directing her to eat her hours. If she charges over 45 hours she will get emails from management and when she charges over 65 she got a call from a PPMD. I work at deloitte and have never been told to do this and thought it honestly was illegal. Thoughts? It doesn’t seem right that she’s having to eat those hours and feel scared when she’s working til 10/12 every night.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Anyone have an idea of how long it takes for the background check to clear at KPMG? Also, do they send you an email or something to let you know it’s done?

Salary question: if you are making 60k in Low COL area. I have an offer for $110k in very high COL in Seattle. Should I move or stay? Thoughts?

Looking back, what would you like to see changed about accounting education in university? Any topics that should be covered more/less?

If one more person says that I should know everything about taxes because I’m an accountant I’m going to scream
