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 got a call from KPMG HR for the role of Associate consultant in research team, When she asked me about the expected ctc, I think I quoted less than the market standards but since I am underpaid currently so the amount I quoted was 40-45% hike on my fixed. I have experience of 2.9years
Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.
