BT1 I can relate to that. For me it is someone (1 level above me) enjoys micromanaging me the whole time for small things and “busy” is not severe enough to stop that.

Just turn off Skype, maybe? I think DND is so obnoxious. Why not just sign out?

I think there's a way to tag certain contacts where they'll see "urgent interruptions only" while everyone else will see "do not disturb". This works well in case you need your team members to have access to you but not everyone on the contact list

I only use it when presenting/sharing my screen. I’d also be curious to know when you use Busy. I think some people default to busy all the time. But aren’t we all?

Plenty of instances where you may need to be pinging a certain person but don't want to receive pings from randos. Hence DND.

TM1, I do notice people bother me less when I put busy. As I stuff, when my status shows as available, I usually get a lot of assignments like help scanning documents, clearing someone else comments etc when I am already swamped and need to stay pass midnight to meet certain deadlines

Ey4 why is dnd obnoxious?

Only when presenting. Otherwise I have literally never used it.

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
