What’s the weirdest or most unexpected job an accountant can do? I’m not talking controller at a cool brand or FP&A at Spotify. I mean actually different. I’ve been doing audit and reporting for years, and I’m craving something that shakes me out of the mold. Give me the strange, the fun, the I didn’t know that was a job. I need some wild inspiration before I talk myself into another round of busy season.

Hi Guys,
I have multiple offers including offers from TCS.
But the TCS offer is less. So I'm not planning to join. Will the company block me if I do not join.

I’m not naive or fresh out of law school, but I’m at a point where I’m saying to myself “Why can’t I have it all?” I’ve been offered a job for more pay and less hours and I keep thinking to myself, what’s the catch? I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries? Why would we resent someone who has that opportunity?

Going for a walk with a cocktail in a water bottle. I have either peaked or hit rock bottom. It’s impossible to tell.

Just got a really good offer. Really wanted to stay within my current firm, but they just have made it way too hard recently. Peace out! 🏃🏾

What level and service line were you at the big 4, and what percent salary increase did you get once you left? I’m a S1>S2, and the offers I’m seeing are around 10%-15% higher, which feels a little low. But maybe I’m being unrealistic.

This is the 2nd company that rejected me after the 2nd round of interviews. Latest one left a bitter taste as I felt I was doing good during the interview process and felt I was really a good fit. On to the next one.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

On Monday, a recruiter from EY told and emailed me me the tax team liked my resume and they’ll be scheduling an interview with me and they asked for my schedule. But they still haven’t gotten back to me. Should I be worried or is EY tech just slow with respect to recruiting?

What questions should you ask during a phone screening with a recruiter?
