    Still new to this manager thing but I've just had to deal with an A1 who was upset that she was sick and felt like she is letting the team down. It's awful that kids coming into this job feel that way and having to continuously assure them it's ok to be sick, how mad is it to feel guilty for being unwell.

    Anyways, please just let us know and focus on resting up. Especially in the coming months. If you have a manager who is giving you shit for it speak to your mentor/counselling manager/HR.

    Help I cant concentrate at all in an open office setting

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 05:38 PM PDT

    I have ADHD and if I wanna actually concentrate, I need to be either be blocked off in an area or at least be facing a wall. Otherwise I cant get anything done.

    My office was recently turned into an open office and my productivity tanked.

    The solution would be to put on a hat and a hoodie to block off vision but I would assume that wouldn't be appropriate.

    What should I do??

    What flavor of kool-aid do they serve at your firm?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 03:01 PM PDT

    So I hear all this talk about drinking kool-aid, but I'm a little concerned. My problem is I only like grape kool-aid. I want to make sure I apply at a firm that serves grape. Please advise.

    Pls Help a Struggling Big 4 Newbie

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 09:20 PM PDT

    I started as an assurance staff recently at a big 4 and immediately got put on a busy season client with a huge team. The group is really tight and I have insane anxiety all day long that I'm doing a bad job, they think I'm stupid/slow, I'm saying the wrong things, etc. I'm also having crazy trouble focusing for 12 hours straight a day and my senior has already made a small comment about how I need to work more efficiently.

    ​

    It's been a hard adjustment going from having all the free time in the world straight into working 6 days a week into the wee hours of the night. I also have major imposter syndrome and I'm just struggling getting the hang of everything. I feel like I'm still so slow with excel and I just have no idea what's going on 90% of the time.

    ​

    Having quite the sunday scaries and thinking about jumping back in tomorrow is giving me bad anxiety. Did anyone feel this way when they started? Am I being too hard on myself? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Tax: Deloitte vs EY

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 03:34 PM PDT

    I was able to attain full-time tax offers from a number of firms to start next summer, and I am now choosing between Deloitte and EY.

    EY's starting salary is a teensy bit higher, but both offices I applied to reside in the same city. Both in this city are relatively smaller offices, so I was informed by both that I would be able to touch a variety of returns and not pidgeon-holed into one tax field.

    I'm still deciding which one to work for between the two B4's. Peeps have said to go for the firm with the best people, but I felt that I was able to get along very well with both firms.

    So I am just curious if there are advantages for working either firm on the tax side. Which position would serve me better in the long-run: tax consultant or diversified tax staff? Or are they essentially the same thing?

    P.S. I want to thank this subreddit for giving me great advice and tips these past few years. I wouldn't have gotten to where I am without you guys :)

    PwC mid-year promotions

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 09:58 PM PDT

    When do people normally begin to find out about mid-year promotions at PwC? Also, is it ok if I already started applying to other jobs and scheduling interviews elsewhere if I don't get the mid-year promotion? I honestly do not want to go through busy season doing all senior tasks while still only being technically an associate. That logic is ok, right?

    Is it mostly B.S when people say they ace an exam or passed a class easily with an A with little to no studying?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 03:14 PM PDT

    feel like they are just saying it to make themselves look good. In higher education, there seems to be effort needed to get A's in classes that require deep critical and analytical thinking.

    Graduating at 29

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 09:41 AM PDT

    Hello, my friends. My life is in a unique situation - I come from a wealthy family and have been lazy my whole life, had delusions of becoming a professional poker player, some health problems - all this greatly prolonged my education. Long story short, I will graduate with Bachelors from University of New South Wales, one of the top universities in Australia, at the age of 29. I'm hoping to finish with distinction average, majoring in Accounting and Economics. I have no work experience. I am wondering what are my chances of gaining employment in accounting? Do you think that masters degree would greatly improve my chances? Would be nice to hear from someone in Australia, but all answers are appreciated. Thanks and all the best!

    PwC Partner interview

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 09:24 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    A couple days ago I had an interview with a PwC partner for a summer internship and I feel as it didn't go so well as my other interviews with the recruiters/managers. Does anyone know how if the decision is made entirely by the partner or is the partner meeting more of a formality and the decision is heavily influenced by the recruiters/previous interviewers? Thanks!

    Not sure if I like accounting

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 12:48 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    ​

    I just finished my Intermediate Accounting I midterm and don't think I did very good. I'm really not sure if I would like accounting as a career choice. I do have a summer position at MNP in Canada which i'm pretty happy about (that it's something related to my schooling). My previous job was just a Customer Service Representative at a retail store.

    ​

    I guess what i'm asking is, is the job experience working as an accountant different than the in class material? I've studied lots but the material isn't really "clicking" if that makes sense. Please let me know your opinions

    I literally don't know what I'm supposed to put in the blank boxes in the second half of the problem. I'm struggling with accounting in general.

    Recommending Edspira for those studying FAR

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 09:04 AM PDT

    Hi guys, I'm currently studying for my FAR exam using the Becker program. While it's a fantastic program, every now and then there are some concepts or topics that I am not able to truly grasp with Becker's explanations. That's where the Edspira videos come in. I found them to be a perfect supplement to my FAR studying and the guy that makes them has a very awesome and intuitive way of taking accounting and finance concepts and relating them in a way a person can easily understand.

    I highly recommend some of these videos for anyone studying for FAR!

    Starting in B4 SALT full-time... which service line should I specify?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 05:16 PM PDT

    I am just starting full-time in B4 SALT this month. My department has 3 service lines: Income/Franchise, Sales & Use Tax, and Unclaimed Property (I know it's not a tax, but is still in the department). I have previously done work in federal/state returns in previous internships. If given the choice, which service line should I specialize in for career growth? How should I communicate with my manager that I would want more work in that given line of service?

    Question about an interview I have with a German accounting firm in NYC.

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 08:39 AM PDT

    I'm a senior in college right now, and I plan to study for the CPA exams as soon as I graduate. I have an interview with an accounting firm in NYC that prepares corporate taxes for German companies with subsidiaries in the U.S. and for high-income German clients in the U.S. I've been studying German for 2 years now, just on my own (no classes or anything), and I've been wanting to get into international tax accounting. My career goals are to move to Germany in the next 5 years and prepare taxes for U.S. citizens living in Germany. Is this something I should talk to them about during my interview. I just wasn't sure if talking about my goals of moving to Germany would seem too optimistic or unattainable. I certainly don't want to come across as flighty. Any advice would be great. And any ideas for questions to ask them would be awesome as well. Danke!

    KPMG inside look leading to internship?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 10:31 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I am a junior going to school in San Diego. I recently had 2 interviews at kpmg for summer audit internship with a partner and manager. I got invited to an inside look 1 week later and attended this on Friday. There were only 5 total students there! I'm wondering if this means there is a good chance that I will get the internship. I'm just anxious to know some insight because I really loved the people there and the firm.

    "Stress Hormone" Cortisol Linked to Early Toll on Thinking Ability: "The study of more than 2,000 people, most of them in their 40s, found those with the highest levels of the stress-related hormone cortisol performed worse on tests of memory, organization, visual perception and attention."

    Is Accounting and Finance a good degree to follow?

    Posted: 28 Oct 2018 04:13 PM PDT

    I'm currently in my last year of high school/ secondary school in Ireland and I'm going to have to fill out my CAO (college application) within the next few months. Right now what I'm most interested in is Accounting and the business sector in general. I love doing accounting and I'm pretty good at it in school, getting A1 -A2's in each of my exams. Although I find accounting interesting and it's what I'm more focused on at the moment, it scares me when people tell me about their experiences of being an accountant. 4 of my teachers in my school have dropped out of accounting due to it being too 'stressful and long-working hours' and from what I hear in the comments on this reddit page it's 'dull'.

    Right now accounting is my strongest subject in school followed by Business and math and I'm planning to pursue an Accounting & Finance degree in Maynooth University. Is it wrong that the general opinionated view of accounting turns me off? Should I continue with accounting? Or should I further look into other degrees? And even though I talk about accounting in this, is the Finance part of the degree worth looking further into?
