    Made it to manager at Big 4

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 05:26 PM PDT

    Found out I will be promoted to manager this year at a Big 4 in NYC (financial services tax). I started out as a staff and thought about quitting SO many times due to the brutal work hours. Pretty much everyone I've started with has left the firm by now. Just looking back and reflecting on how I never thought I'd even make it to senior... but I stuck in there. Where my Reddit Big4 Managers at?????

    Epi 2- Kronicles of a KPMG Intern (Orientation Edition)

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 10:25 AM PDT

    Well the big day finally came. Being committed to this internship for over a year and finally getting into the office for the first day of orientation was bitter sweet. I was happy that this wasn't all a sham but sad my summer just got another thing added onto its plate.

    I really do have to give it up to the HR team for the organization behind the events but a big F-U to whoever put together the modules we have to go through. Besides for a could of introductory words and set up points, the recruiters left the dogs to bark (which I appreciated).

    The modules, while informative, were extremely dragged out. I shit you not that KPMG acted like as if they put a man on the moon as they're going over that there is a stop watch feature on SYNC. And yes, I did listen to the hour long video on how to do time sheets. Yes I went through over 60 slides on how to use Skype For Business. Why you may ask? Love filling up the cup.

    Going back to the recruiters.. they put up a great show so far. Really trying to show the best face of the company. First day and they're feeding the interns with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and (most importantly) booze for those who are of age.

    Some highlights from the first day had to have been when fellow interns were asking how to screen shot the page on the computer. They just SNIPPING their chances of getting that FTO jokes.

    But all in all, extremely happy to finally get through the doors (Cha boi got that ID that gets me into all the doors 😫) and work towards what I have been waiting for over a year. National Intern Training (NIT) is slowly coming around the corner this Monday.

    The shock and awe on everyone's face in the conference room when they heard they could expense Uber to airport, log their time for travel, and get approximately $28 for each dinner in Orlando was priceless. Only time I saw HR get extremely serious was when talking about not being a fuckup in Orlando. Will guarantee it will not be me to be 'that intern'. But I'm sure there will at least be one who's booking a flight home early.

    Stay tuned for the next epi.. til next time...

    Big 4 FDD vs Mid-tier FDD

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 01:44 PM PDT

    Hi guys,

    I luckily have the opportunity to join either a Big 4 or Mid-tier (RSM/Grant/BDO) under their FDD practice in the US as a senior. I am currently coming from a national firm outside RSM/Grant/BDO. While I really like the idea of being on big clients at Big 4, I am concerned about work life balance. I don't care about having to be on call with clients most of the time as long as I have the flexibility to be anywhere I would like outside of working hours. I don't mind working from home/hotel as long as I still get some time to myself, time with friends and family. I've also heard that seniors don't get to see the entire M&A transaction with Big 4 unlike Mid-tier where you will be able to see the entire transaction. As of now, for my long-term plans, I think I'll stay in public accounting long-term. Any thoughts?

    Hotel accountant

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 06:12 PM PDT

    I'm looking for some insight on these "accountant" jobs posted at local hotels (Marriott, Hilton, etc, at specific location - not accountants at their corporate headquarters).

    Looking at their description and low pay, it doesn't really seem like an actual full accounting job, but more like accounting clerk role. Some of them do have titles such as "general accountant".

    Has anyone worked in these type of jobs before? What is it like? Did you learn anything useful for your next higher-level accounting jobs? Did it help with your career?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 07:18 PM PDT

I found mamy people who are introverts and have same peoblems as me out there but do fine, but I still have questions about which path I should go for between public or private. Any insights on these? It will save my ass.

    Switching jobs within Big 4

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 06:32 PM PDT

    I'm starting in IT Audit this summer fresh out of college. After reading multiple threads and websites about the IT audit position, I am worried that it may not be something I love doing or will be pigeonholed into after a few years. I was wondering how hard it is to switch into a new role in advisory within the company if I end up not liking IT audit after a year or so.

    Seton Hall or Pace for Undergrad

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 08:37 PM PDT

    So I'm in a bit of a jam and I'm seeking some advice to help me make my final decision. I've been accepted at both Seton Hall University and Pace University. Neither are creme de la creme name brand schools but from my research are good for accounting and provide many internship opportunities.

    SHU is located in South Orange, NJ in a suburban/urban area. Pace is very urban in NYC. I definitely like the city but I feel like I shouldn't let that be a big factor as I plan to intern and work in the city.

    Both are offering scholarships/grants and other aid that puts the price at roughly the same amount so the difference is negligible.

    I feel like Seton Hall offers somewhat more prestige in name vs Pace but as I said neither are top schools.

    I would very much appreciate any advice toward making my decision. Thanks!

    Need some advice, leaving after 1 year?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 08:16 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I need some advice please. I currently work in public accounting and my firm has ~70 people in audit and tax. Overall, its a good opportunity and the pay is really great and I feel that I'm learning a lot. However, the busy season was really stressful for me and I'm just not sure I can do it again. It was pretty much mon-fri (9am-11pm) and sat 9-5 for 4 months. I know B4 busy season is way worse, but I just dont think I can stand it again and just felt depressed this busy season because of the long hours. I want to leave to industry but I'm worried I will regret leaving so soon, for those of you that left to industry early, do you have any regrets? I have been with my firm for ~ 1 year now.

    27 year old with 1.5 years of school left

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 03:56 AM PDT

    So, I'm a little (alot) older than the average college student due to some bad decisions on my part when I was younger. I'll be close to 30 when I graduate and my Gf will be 28/29. We've both talked about starting a family after we finish school, so my question is this. How hard will it be to do big 4 AND be around for my family? Based off the information I'm seeing it seems tough. Anyone have experience with this and care to share how you managed? Thanks.

    How to make meaningful connections during your internship?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 10:41 AM PDT

    I just started my internship at a big 4 and I feel like my counselors & my main manager (who all happen to be SM's) are always extremely busy and don't really have time to talk/network with me. Would it be weird for an intern to ask an SM to grab coffee/lunch? If not, how can I do this so it's not weird/annoying? It's my understanding that your direct supervisors will provide the feedback that ultimately decides if you get a FT offer or not, so I really want to forge meaningful connections with them and others.

    Public Accounting Auditors: Did you Lease or Buy(Own) your car??

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 06:09 PM PDT

    I never really wanted the responsibility of my own car (I'm a late bloomer when it comes to driving and just used public transit and my husbands car when necessary.) However I'll be starting a career in public accounting in a couple of months and public transit isn't that reliable/wide spread in my city, so I guess that means I have to get a car.

    We're also thinking about leaving our current city in 3 years and I really didn't want to move 2 cars cross country, so I was leaning towards leasing. My worry is, that I'll end up driving more than the 10,000 mile limit on a leased car and I don't want those problems either. Ive never worked in public, so maybe I'm over estimating the travel involved.

    Is it possible to make a lease work as an auditor? How did you do it?

    Equity accountant

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 02:21 PM PDT

    Hi, Currently a senior at a company that IPO'd last year. I now I have the opportunity to work on the equity side of accounting. This would mean Managing the RSU, SBC and other compensation. I was thinking of leaving the company to work on revenue, but I like my current company and was thinking if working on equity would be a good career move. I am not sure what the market looks like for equity accountants. Anyone have any insight?

    BS Business Administration - Accounting VS BS in Accounting

    Posted: 15 Jun 2019 05:52 PM PDT

    Team,

    Before I start there's a TLDR at the bottom. I am currently conducting research in which degree I want to pursue, and I would like to hear from you and from your experience! I am currently looking into and debating between getting a degree Business Administration with an Emphasis in Accounting OR a BS in Accounting. Professionally, I want to get into accounting. I've heard getting an accounting degree isn't necessarily needed to get into the field. However, I feel that I would be overlooked VS someone who built a foundation through an accounting degree. Additionally, I feel like getting a BSBA is taking the easy way out due to it being such a general degree without much depth (IMHO no offense to anyone who has it). Additionally, I will walk away with approximately 18-21 credits in accounting with the BSBA emphasis in Accounting.

    There are more variables if I go with the BSBA - Accounting. Things to consider are the following: GPA, internships, networking- just to name a few.

    Right now I am leaning towards doing the hard right and going with the BS in Accounting.

    Thanks for taking your time to read this and give your advice!

    TLDR: I want to get into the Accounting Field. Should I get a BS in Business Administration with an Emphasis in Accounting or a BS in Accounting?
