When did you personally feel like you “made it” in accounting? Was it a salary number, a title, or just finally having control of your schedule? I’m realizing the emotional payoff doesn’t always match the effort it took to get there. Sometimes the win feels quieter than expected. Curious what that moment looked like for you?

Probably getting on a call with a client and getting the feedback that I really helped them out. As a staff sitting in on calls with partners and you just wonder how do they know what to even say and I could never do that etc. One day it just clicks and there is no hesitation or fear. Thats when you made it.

My very first real offer, I felt like I made it. Then, a better offer years later, I’m making it. Probably be another one down the road. I’m constantly surprised and feel fortunate when anything good comes my way.

16 years in and I dont think I’ve “made it” yet. My goal was to be a big 4 partner and I haven’t got there yet so still going to try.

So I just came out at my small firm in a small southern town. Historically, I haven’t discussed my personal life at work— but I had to give notice anyway. I told the partners I’m moving to be with my boyfriend. It was a surprisingly lovely conversation given that I’m at a firm of rich old men, deep in the heart of Tr*mp country.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
