Will it look bad if I skip the firm’s holiday party? Very socially anxious and not really feeling like going.

Anyone from ACN asked to take a week of vacation in June? I was asked to but the friends I checked with we’re not; afraid I’m being prepped to exit.

How do you deal with a Midlevel who tells the partner you’ll cover for them, but gives you less than 24 hours notice they’ll be gone without asking if you can cover? I helped out back on July on a deal with they were on vacation, and now every vacation since they keep adding me back on without keeping me appraised of the deal in the interim

I hit rock bottom (I mean it) and in 6 weeks I managed a vacation, landed a new job, found a great guy, and landed a bomb apartment. Everything can change at the drop of a hat - keep your chin up.

Any book recommendations for the summer vacation season? What's your favorite book over the last year?

Planning a trip to Bali with my bf. He’s never been on a long flight like that but we are probably planning a 2week vacation. What areas should we stay at?? we’re beach bums but I also love the forest/Hiking and a big foodie!

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

Ohhh how much I love PTO 🎊🎊

🎄How do you plan to recharge over the holiday break?

Recos for a vacation with my SO in mid-novemember. Thinking of hikes or any other outdoor activities (minus skiing). Can take a flight fwiw. Thank you

Will base jump from 120 - 145 make a significant difference in my saving? Offer has significantly less PTO and a lower 401k match. 32F with 400k saved, interested in buying a home soon in HCOL.

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Maybe holiday party is ambitious. Any interest in a Friday afternoon happy hour?

Since we returned to office in October, is it appropriate to give holiday gifts to team members?

Renegotiating my contract and curious about maternity leave policies at other practices/hospitals. Do you get paid leave? If so how much time off & are you getting full pay? We are a group of about 75 employees, 6 docs with 5 PA’s and only unpaid 12 weeks off.

Has anybody stopped paying Canadian CPA dues and let their membership lapse? I'm working in the US and I recently got my US CPA. I can't think of any good reason to keep paying these high annual dues, from what I can tell I'm not getting anything from being a Canadian CPA. Any advice?

What are thoughts on leaving in January?

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?

What can I do with my 3 year experience at big 4, if I exit now? My aim was to always hit 6 figures after 5 years of work but I can’t stand the big 4 workload and stress levels that much longer. Always willing to work hard and long hours. But that is spilling over into Saturday and Sunday’s. My mind does not rest. Persevere or start looking elsewhere?

Diagnosed with mild bell’s palsy (nerve on one side of face is damaged - can’t move it) and I have a happy hour tomorrow. Should I skip it? Should I ask to work from home while I recover?

Tax senior with CPA at small firm. Best way to get to Big 4 audit? (LA or OC) Went to non-target so little to no alumni at B4. I don’t mind the switch to a lower title since audit was always my preference and was never a fan of tax (stayed local for family).

I'll probably get shit for this. But please explain to me the purpose of letting women off the elevator first. Half of the time it's ridiculously inconvenient.

When is the best time to leave and go to another big4? I am at PwC and I knew the reputation they had and Some people said It may not be for me because of it. Ive been here a year and I feel as there right. My busy season is starting and I want to leave (not just because of my team) but as some of you may know getting along with the people you work with is a big part of wanting to stay at your job. I want to try to quit end of December and hoping to start a new position February.

Leaving PA for my dream school next year for a career pivot. However still have awhile before I can leave (there’s no reason to forgo a paycheck for even longer than I already have to…). I have no idea how I’ll make it through busy season without quitting on the spot 😩

Passed the CIA. 🍾 I'm rolling deep in the letters... CPA, CFE too. What should I do next?
