What's your secret shame that you don't dare tell your colleagues about because you want them to think you're smart and professional? Here's mine...I'm weirdly obsessed with Love Island and I hate myself for it lol. I spent years thinking I was above all of that trashy reality TV stuff, but it turns out I'm just not.

Hello Guys,

Let me know if anyone can refer me for the suitable job.

Thank you All.

Is the rug being pulled out from under S&O?

I recently left EY to take up a very senior role at a Tech firm. Feel so much better and happier. The firm has already given me a parking space in Canary Wharf, a brand new S22 Ultra, S Watch 5 Pro, S8+ Galaxy Tab and my own corner office 😊

Have been approached for a role at PMSI Strategy Consultants?

There is very little information available about them. Has anyone heard of them?

Seems like they are focusing on CDD only but would love to know more about them if anyone has any insights.

TIA

Thanks to covid I realized how much I love and appreciate my traveling consultant lifestyle. Almost gave up on consulting but I’m ready to give it another shot. This was a blessing in disguise

What are your tips for publicly responding to negative reviews?

Got to go home at 11!! The whole team hates me for leaving "early"

sometimes I feel like the reward of being productive is more work lol

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.

What would you choose and why? Core Tax, SALT, or International

What can I do with my 3 year experience at big 4, if I exit now? My aim was to always hit 6 figures after 5 years of work but I can’t stand the big 4 workload and stress levels that much longer. Always willing to work hard and long hours. But that is spilling over into Saturday and Sunday’s. My mind does not rest. Persevere or start looking elsewhere?

Highest number of billable hours you have seen in a year?

Has anyone’s (pre covid) full time travel engagements said anything about what to expect in the coming months/year?

Good morning to all those who are still in busy season for another few weeks. Go get'em!!

how much should I ask for A2 (experienced associate) for PwC CMAAS in HCOL (not NYC/SF)

I'll probably get shit for this. But please explain to me the purpose of letting women off the elevator first. Half of the time it's ridiculously inconvenient.

Anyone here a manager in PI at EY? Could you please PM me? Looking to talk more about the practice.

Do a lot of seniors in the advisory groups work weekends? I am coming from a group that has busy seasons sometimes we don't get a day off for a few weeks before the deadline. 80-100 hour weeks for me.
