What company do you want to work for next?

I met a patient yesterday who was actually happy with their insurance coverage! A rare one!

The two friends that I hung out with regularly moved to another city. Now I’m sad about having no plans for the weekend :(

Any recommendations for salsa lessons? If it matters, I would strictly be going by myself compared to that of partnered lessons. TIA.

Best detox face mask for sensitive skin? I’m getting a few combo skin/ mask related pimples :(

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I think there should be more males caretakers in this world. Some of my clients just feel more comfortable with a guy and it's kind of sad how often they say I'm the only male they could find.

Is it better to be a big fish in a small pond, or a small fish in a big pond? Just got recruited with promotion/pay bump for a bigger firm but I’m in a great spot with my current firm. Suggestions?

Rising audit senior thinking of pivoting to forensics. Not sure if I want to stay at EY, but should I wait to get any forensics certification until I make the switch? Also, is it better to have a CFE vs. CFF? I already have my CPA

How about a salary survey?

Watching When Harry Met Sally for the first time.

Visiting Arizona for the first time this summer. Flying into Phoenix and thinking of staying in flagstaff for a few nights. Any recs or anything I should know w/ covid restrictions? Cont. in comments

On the positive side. I don’t know what work I may screw up this week, but at least as a lowly business consultant I won’t be the one who screwed up the country of Afghanistan.

What are main criteria to consider when choosing a growth equity VC/PE fund?

Dinner for the night? Cold, left over pizza that's been sitting in the oven since last night. Pure class.

New Senior 3 here, I am unsure what I should try to specialize in out of the FAAS offerings. They all sound pretty interesting, and it seems like most manager+ level are aligned with a service pillar. Which of the below would provide best exit opp / pay?

1. TAAG: Technical accounting
2. Transactions: Assume this is deals support like CMAAS?
3. ESG and Sustainability
4. Finance Optimization (ERP Implementation)
5. Treasury / Risk Management / Financial instrument (not sure about details tho)

Looking for a referral to KPMG AAS, thanks!

Other than big fours which accounting advisory firm would you recommend applying for accounting advisory reporting work?

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?

Is it possible to transfer to accounting advisory (FAAS CMAAS) as a manager? How’s the learning curve?

Are there any Big 4 advisory groups groups within boutique consulting firms that work mainly with startups?

Is it possible for me to switch from audit to consulting or advisory with only 1 YOE? I just don’t find what I am doing to be enjoyable and would rather be in a different position. If you think it’s possible, can you please tell me how/what I need to do?

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

How common is it for accounting advisory seniors/young managers to exit to b-school?

Anyone ever explore van life ?

Shall we hope for market adjustment in salary?

I was curious what other firms have set as their utilization goals for their different positions?

Currently, everyone from staff to senior manager has a set goal of 90%.

Which advisory group has the least travel out of AAS, FDD/TAS, and risk advisory? Or is it all dependent on the client and team nowadays? And is the travel schedule comparable to consulting? (ex. M-Th on a plane)

Any good materials on portfolio management basics/ best practices that your firm uses?

If anyone is looking for a referral to pwc - dm me! Happy to refer!

Have been looking for accounting advisory jobs and can’t seem to find any. Are firms hiring again?

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

What are pro forma adjustments in FDD?

Thoughts on TAAG vs FAAS? The job descriptions pretty much look the same..

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.
