Who here would switch firms for a better culture even if it meant less money?

I would seriously consider going to a firm that evaluates on performance/projects completed and doesn't require time entry for salaried professionals. I would love to be expected to complete X tasks in a period rather than X billable hours.

Like all things, there's a balance among critical success factors and pain points. I however after transitioning from PwC have experienced real positive cultural change and I'm better for it.

I agree that would be better, but I would not be willing to take a pay/resume hit for it

I made this move. Big four to regional and audit to advisory. Happy with my decision. Got a small pay bump but I'm sure longer term pay will be less.

Assume the better culture is real and say what that means to you. The less money isn't so much less that it completely changes your standard of living but less discretionary money to spend. This is not a discussion about any particular firms or BIG 4 vs. Not Big 4.

Your question implies that our culture is not up to par to your standards and the pay exceeds your expectations. What concerns you about Wipfli's culture?

Sorry it was read that way. I actually meant quite the opposite other than the time keeping personal issue I have I think our culture is above par but the pay might be a bit lower than some other firms.

How do you improve your documentation to not get so many notes back? I literally put everything I know plus what the client said but I still get questions back, like in that documentation is everything I know and there is nothing more I can give. I also try to word it in the most audit way I can think of to make it sound professional but no luck.

I slept at 1AM yesterday and woke up at 3PM today. I feel on top of the world after 15 hours. Who says oversleeping is bad for health ? I only get to do this 1 or 2/yr. Ok, let the mud slinging begin!

For those that take on small freelance projects on the side (more consulting/work for small companies, night/weekend hours), is it worth setting up an LLC for that? Do you typically lower your rate for small companies vs what it would be freelancing at a day rate for an agency?

I have a unique opportunity. I'm currently in fp&a but have accepted an offer to go back into FDD but my current company has counter offered to let me move into corp dev. (Didn't know they had an open position). I'd be coming in at the associate level in corp dev so I am slightly worried about slow progression compared to FDD. Opinions on what I should do?

Joined EY early this year as a S2. We have no staff on our team, so the past few months have been nothing but grunt work. I’m expected to take responsibility for the projects but I’m spending 75% of my time rotating PDFs etc.

I’m not growing, actually I feel like I’m going backwards in my career. Yet on paper I’m getting paid a great salary and am supposed to be looking at manager next year.

Do I stay and drive myself crazy until manager? Or do I have some self respect and go where I can grow?
