Hi fishes,
I was wondering if I put down my resignation now. And in case after a few weeks I decide to stay back, can I withdraw my resignation?

Infosys Pune and Genpact Kolkata-which is better?

I have recovered from Corona Virus. Its 6 weeks now and I can tell you that the after effects are real. I have anxiety that I will never get over the fatigue, brain fog, inability to form sentences and words and headaches which make my work days very difficult to get thru.

Moving to Bay Area from NY, office in Sunnyvale. Good places to find apartments when you dont have a car and can walk down to places to eat, coffee etc. Any insights will be helpful. Thanks!

Bought a bunch of PS4 games at start of quarantine and never got started. Between Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Uncharted 4, and The Last of Us, where should I start?

Any views on mining machinery?

Today we had an agency talent show. Last year I MC’d it while slamming whiskeys between acts. I got great reviews for my on the fly wit. This year I was asked to do it again... (cont.)

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

I just signed the offer letter from Absolutdata acquired by Infogain , and even before joining the company they sent me a welcome kit.
I am unsure of joining them in case I get a better counter offer, but I am a bit worried now since they already sent me a welcome kit. I am wondering what made them sure that I will join them and not any other company. Is it that after signing offer letter I cannot join other company?

I find dating apps to be unhealthy to an extent. If a minor inconvenience occurs, it's simple to move on to the next one and the cycle repeats. Have any of you met "the one" through a dating app?

Suggestions on how to improve at work? I feel like everyone knows more than me and feeling like I’ve been left behind. Where did all of this knowledge come from??

Are there any Infrastructure related VC funds that hire PhDs ? Thanks

Anyone taken CISA? I've heard it was super hard from some people and heard it was a joke by others. Thoughts?

Novartis India recently fired 400 employees. I have read in an article. Is job security an issue at Novartis?

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly? One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

Is the CPA designation worth it? For me it would take me 1 year of PREP courses and 2 years of PEP until i can write the CFE. And I am 27 years old right now. Also wondering if it would be crazy to pursue the CPA while learning how to code to be a developer as well?

Utilization rate this time of year?

Ladies, Trying to to turn a ☘ and begin a new diet for the summer; what's your goto summer diet?

So I ordered a 1 backpack and 1 desktop monitor on PwC’s IT order form. And I somehow got shipped 3 backpacks and 3 desktop monitors. The shipping center said I had to take them, but should cont.

I am sure it’s been asked 100 times but humor me please. Best office chair to add to the good I’m doing with a stand up desk? Lol.

Would love to stay in a reasonable range if possible (800 max)

There's a ton of self help and leadership books out there to help people in their careers. If there was one that was written front the lense of a public accounting, would you read it?

About to take an offer at EY. Want a baby soon and saw the great news about increased parental leave. Question is, can u use vacation time consecutively with it? Right now most on leave take 5 months

Some UK companies shifting to 4 day weeks, no pay cuts. I’d be willing to do 4/10 hour days if it meant permanent 3 day weekends. Thoughts ?

Anyone has insights into whether we can claim depreciation for our “home office” due to WFH? Not an expert here but looks like it’s for self employed individuals only, but maybe the individual tax experts in this community can help everyone out a bit 🤪

Parking should really be reimbursed! Especially when its $20 a day.

If I'm forced to use my vacation, floater, etc. towards my study leave for CFE but I have vacation booked for right after CFE, will PwC still let me take that vacation as a "leave of absence"?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

My utilization is 90% but all of my clients are small jobs. Does that look worse than someone who works on the larger, higher revenue generating jobs with all else equal (utilization/performance)?

What do you look for when examining the accounting for a small business stock purchase? Asking for specific types of errors and red flags.

Tired of the long audit hours and not ready for another busy season? Join Deloitte’s Accounting & Reporting Advisory group. The hours and pay are better and there’s no busy season. DM me if you want a referral or more details.

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

For those who have left PwC recently - how long did it take to receive information in the mail regarding your 401(k) and details on how to transfer? I’m starting in advisory at another Big 4 next week and am unsure on how I will report this in the onboarding process for independence related docs.
