Pros and cons
Federal Audit vs Commercial at a Senior Level.
DC area if that matters.

I feel it’s safer to wait until the background check gets cleared before I put the notice to my current employer. Will Deloitte notify you the results of background checks? It’s been a month since offer acceptance and haven’t heard anything about background check results yet.

How is everyone dealing with the volume of people leaving? I know in my office we are drowning due to the number of staff and seniors leaving and the volume of work coming in. Obviously there’s always turnover but it’s way more than normal and we don’t seem to be able to hire people. I feel like the audit industry is due for a big change to retain people since I think younger folks are way less willing to trade their life now for a payday later on in life.

Audit Partners — Do you see longterm profitability of audit in general? Is it going to be worth being a partner, financially, given the risk you take on, in 10-15 years? With audit bids increasingly being driven way down by competition, & lower level resources demanding (much) higher pay than it was historically, I’m not convinced the partner track is still as enticing as it was pre-Covid. Seems like the job market/higher staff pay alone has GOT to be taking a huge cut into partner pay.

Looking to make a move to either NY, DC or Bay Area.

Currently a manager in accounting/finance at a fintech company. Wanted some insights on the following:

- how is the support provided by companies to potential parents

Is the comp enough after expenses for a family?
