Senior told us all that we could work from home one morning because we had a 630am call with a client in a different time zone. I stayed home to take the call, but everyone else showed up to the office with the manager and took the call in a conference room together. Manager was pretty mad I was the only one that didn't show. 😒

Pitch a tent. Learn to live under the bus. Then you'll realize that assholes want you under there because they think they're driving. Reality is there's no bus and the people that hope it runs over everyone else end up being seen as *insert your favorite swear word*.

I think its me. The client went though an acquisition, half of the accounting team left. The Controller about to leave also. In the middle of the audit, the in-charge left. i sent selection out 2 weeks in advance and got them back the last day of my fieldwork ( yeah, its freaking stupid client) no chance to talk to the client to figure out the variance. The in-charge said he was going to take care of the variance since he would have 1 more week to talk to the client about them. Then he left. No one ever mentioned about that project. 2 months later, the manager came back and ask about all of the variances and why the Client said one thing and i documented 1 thing. Me : sorry, i only had 4 hours to talk to her about all of the misstatements since they did not apply gaap correctly and that was all she ever told me. I did not know why she told you different thing.....2 months after, yeah, f...it... #bad management

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.

I've been working at a company for just over a year now and have discovered my pay is way below what I should be on - I'm a senior and my male equivalent is on double what I'm on.
Recently having a pay review my boss tells me it was a mistake that I've got senior on my job contract and it should've been mid consultant, however my boss now considers me a senior and I can get a pay rise at the end of the year. What would you do? Do I wait till the end of the year for a pay review?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
