Isn't that how it works? Be thankful the people we work with don't give up on us. You could be that underperforming person to one person while being superstar to another. Sucks you've given up on the staff, consider providing more assistance also. Everyone could benefit

Yes, everyone gives up on staff within a one to three month period and some staff just need a longer six month to a year period to understand concepts. Some people's minds are like steel, difficult to get anything etched in but also difficult to remove it once it's there. Once they get it, they get it forever, so we should not give up so easily.

Deal with staff

Doing early adoption 606 implementation for a soon to be public company. I'm back in the FY14 database doing samples. Don't care what anyone else says I win. Not to mention I've only been working 8 months

Deal with clients

Having to test segments that were tested incorrectly for the past five years while maintaining the budget and explaining why it was wrong to superiors. Then going to the client and proposing an entry and they say they are doing it the same as prior years.

Do you find that at the big 4, there's a lot of people who give up on their staff too quickly ?

@PwC5, when you started with PwC, what area did you start in and what were some of the tasks that you had more difficultly wrapping your head around? Same question to everyone also.

For what it's worth, the staff has been here for 9 months.

I haven't given up, that's why it's so hard working with them. It's frustrating as hell explaining the same thing on a weekly/monthly basis when they are being outperformed by a staff with 2 months of experience. It would be so much easier to rely on other staff.

Trying to learn the client engagement properly when the team may not want you to for selfish reasons.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
