Assessments: For those teaching hybrid with a smaller number of students at home, are you giving REAL assessments with no notes, calculators, etc. for those in person? After our school brought everyone back (mostly) I was determined that students needed to do their work without all the aids during tests. I keep hearing it isn’t fair if those at home can cheat and those in class can’t. What are your thoughts?

Guys I am the bowl leader and I am making a firm announcement if anyone posts the countdown to the pay day I will ban that Pikachu

Is it wrong to invert/flip faces in social media posts?

My coworker who schedules content on our social media page posted an inverted photo of our colleagues on Instagram. When I looked at the image I wondered if she might have done it for a reason but I couldn’t think of one.

I know people think they look weird when they see their faces inverted in photos. So, I’ve always been under the impression that it’s not a good idea to do so. Am I reading into this too much?

Does anyone know anything about Washington Business Dynamics (WBD)? How do they compare to other consulting firms? Are they a good way to break into the industry?

Just received offer from PwC FDD $112k/$5k SO (7500 if accept by Tuesday) VHCOL. Senior 1 (coming from audit as S3). Thoughts?

Accounting advisory folks: is it better to exit to industry before manager or just after making manager? I would like to stay till manager, but I also don’t want to get stuck because I stayed too long.

Can anyone differentiate between mergers & acquisition AND valuation and modeling? What are the roles and day to day work look like? Appreciated

Anyone know how long you typically have to wait to re-apply for a job at Big 4? Friend got auto rejected last month but wants to apply with a referral from me and new resume format

Siegfried Group -
I had an initial call with a recruiter and got turned down about 6-7 months ago. I was having a really bad day (just found out a relative had passed, more than normal work stress, ect) and just really had a tough time gathering my thoughts. I honestly should have rescheduled the call but I just didn’t really want to have to push it out and coordinate schedules again. Any chance I can get a second look? The career path aligns with my interests and my background is a great fit.

Where would you say the line would be for going advisory @ big 4 to an investment bank? Obviously depends on the firm but would you say you wouldn’t go to a firm under a certain size? I.e. I would love to hear your thoughts on if I should go from b4 to a boutique with ~15 people?

Just got through my first interview with EY for an experienced associate position in FDD. Throughout the interview process, they mentioned nothing about a case study. But now I need to take one this Friday. I’m not saying I care, I’m just not experienced with case studies in interviews. I never had one for audit, I never had one for consulting positions, but I need one for FDD. I’m not at ALL prepared for this case nor will my performance be a reflection of my potential. No idea what to do.

Cmaas vs ARA, please tell me one reason I should in ARA.

Anyone in KPMGs transformation delivery practice(dc area)? Is this mainly in the public sector?

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.

For those in the city, how often do you bring lunch compared to eating out?

Anyone work advisory in Seattle? Moving that way in a few months and starting to look at my options. Would love to chat and be a referral if it works out.

Should I get a CPA for Transaction Due Diligence?
I’m a new grad working in FDD and I’m trying to decide if becoming a CPA is worth it. I do not plan on staying in accounting in the future. I’m more interested in strategy work. I certainly do not want to do Audit. Would you recommend getting the CPA considering my career aspirations? Do you think it’s worth it? If not, what is the best way to use my time efficiently?

Is AAS a good area to gain transferable skills and learn a lot? Comparing to audit.

Are we consultants?

How is FDD at EY?

Can someone explain to me what are the differences between CMAAS, FAAS advisory, and Financial Transformation Consulting? I’m an audit associate in one of the Big4s looking to transition into more of an advisory roles, so I want to do my research before applying

Finding it very difficult to get feedback about RSM’s Technical Accounting Consulting group. I saw a few others post, but very little responses. Can anyone provide insight into what the group is like, work life balance, if employees are generally happy, and if working remotely will continue for a while?

Hi everyone, I am looking for ideas on how to pivot out of the usual month end close cycle. A remote job ideally. If you were previously in a similar accounting role and switched, I would love to hear about it as well.

My Accounting background is:

3 years GT Audit - manage small team, manage engagements,

2 years Industry Accounting - manage small team, improve monthly processes, month end close, reconciliations, generate financial reports, generate budget and forecasts
