If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

At my former firm I was given the opportunity to do a presentation on bisexuality for the LGBT diversity group. I had only been a member of the group for maybe 6 months but when it came up as a topic I was asked if I wanted to do it. It was super intimidating because it was a monthly phone call and I was the only member on my office so I basically gave a verbal presentation over the phone to no one I could see in a group that consisted of associates to national leadership. After I was done I got reached out to by a member of the national leadership team saying how thankful he was for the presentation and how that was the reason for the networks. I felt really incredible about that and it’s one of my best accomplishments
The CFO at one of the clients I have worked on since they’ve been with the firm told the partner that they wouldn’t sign the new engagement letter unless she knew I was planning to remain on the engagement. Made me feel like the relationships I work to build with my clients mean something
Partner 1 I think the real question is what firm are you with 😄
None. I have never felt to be such a pointless realm of life ever before.
Which practice and firm are you with? I can assure you there is a better existence in PA.
I designed a routine that does a 100% recalculation of a few of a client's revenue figure in a very widespread industry... Its nice to know audit teams are using my routine to recalculate revenues of 400m to a 30k difference
I planned dinners for the team for the busy season. Super proud.
I saved a client from overpaying on an acquisition by around $200m
I used vlookup and countif properly and showed the engagement team how to properly document a sampling

As an associate I had the opportunity to talk to the CFO of a hedge fund about how to calculate the waterfall on their performance fee clawback. Had no idea what I was doing or what I was talking about, but ended up getting it right and the CFO took me seriously in my 24 yo naïveté. Was proud of myself that day.
