What are things an accountant in training should know, so as to have a successful career

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

Got an offer from Kantar Consulting to work on their retail/cpg product.
Currently working with IBM with 10+ yoe having joined IBM 10 months back. Currently at 25 lpa and getting an offer of 32 fixed+15% variable.

Now my question is - Is it worth the gamble to leave IBM and join Kantar consulting which btw is known for market research and not consulting.
Also would leaving IBM after 1 year look bad on CV?

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department.

I bought a house six months ago and while doing some redecorating, I found black mold behind the wallpaper in the kitchen. Didn't the previous owners have to disclose this to me, by law?

Friendly reminder with flu season right around the corner: please cover your mouth or stay home!

How do you know if you’re considered a value employee?

To those in leadership, no PBB is what it is, but to blame it on COVID-19 is just a slap in the face...2-3 weeks of working from home doesn’t kill the fiscal year when we’re 9 months in....

Considering leaving public accounting but feeling very conflicted about it. Is the grass actually greener in industry? I’m a manager if that makes a difference.

The big four conspire to pay CPAs far less than we are worth. Partners are paid millions and you’re only making $75k. You should have been starting at twice that.

I moved to private and they expect everyone in the office throughout the pandemic. I get my work done from home but am constantly called out about “hiding.” Is anyone else in accounting actually going into the office?? How am I the weird one here??

How many pay periods do each of the big 4 have? EY I know is bi-weekly (i.e. 26 pay periods)

What are you saving for?

What are some good personal finance books?

Jumped from public to a job in a place run by boomers but I just wanted out of public so I took the first offer that came to me. 5 months in and I realized it's not a good fit at all. Mainly the CFO thinks no one should be working from home, and working from anywhere but the office is considered a day off to him. Is this a good reason to apply for other jobs right now?

What is the base range for managers at Riveron? Typically what would a manager at B4 come in at?

Seniors - does your manager/partner also tell the clients the audit is in a good spot even though you think it’s not? I got a million more questions for the client 🥲
