How did he know you were Big 4?

I told him I am a consultant. He asked Big 4? I said yes.

Haha idk man

And EY folks are always on bench. So he probably never meets them

Recently left Big 4 audit for an industry role and just got an offer to come back but in FDD. Is it worth it in the long run to go back now but with the same pay/possibly a slight pay cut to work probably double the hours I’m currently working in industry?

what do you talk about in your 1:1s?

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

Just got out of a meeting with a client. Talk about uncomfortable- they'd fired their director that morning and he ran in screaming at the team. They ended up calling security to kick him out!

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it? Or is a better approach saying it’s the leadership in general creating a negative and toxic culture? How effective are these conversations really? Trying to assess if there’s any point in bringing this up. Obviously HR works for the company and an employee sharing their thoughts on the unsupportive, cold leaders could bite me in the long run.

These folks are seniors as well. Partner looks to me to provide a status update, and all I can say is in process.
