But then don't you limit yourself when you want to leave the firm?

No, quite the opposite, at least with FAAS you get a broader skill set and there's a constant need for technical accounting. It'd be easier to move into either a financial analyst role and eventually into a controller/CFO/CEO position. I feel like a tax skill set alone is more limiting in that you can only hope to be a tax director one day.

I suggest looking into the more specialized groups within EY (i.e. TAAG, FAAS, CCaSS,TAS, TT) before looking externally. I just recently switched from tax to FAAS and am really happy with my new group. Better work-life balance and more consulting work. Not sure what you're looking for though...

How did you make that move, EY 2?

Audit

I leveraged my TARAS experiences as a means of getting into FAAS. I also took time to meet individuals from that group to get a good understanding of what it is that they do and what the work-life balance is like.

Hey everyone, I’m a new investor and would love feedback on my portfolio. I’m looking more for longer holds with maybe a couple short plays just to stay in tune with the market. Any advice on improvements is very welcomed! So far I’ve kept slightly in the green thanks to JPM but want to see those larger gains everyone talks about.

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation. And there's extreme hierarchy, where even after you spend 24 hours working on something, the director decides he wants something completely different and you delete and restart. (Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)
