    I love this job!

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 08:23 PM PDT

    You know what I'm talking about...sitting there, sweat pouring down your face. Staring at the billing software agonizing whether you should bill that extra half hour or eat it like your fat ass ate those chicken wings your firm ordered out from, because its always crap. I looked out my cube, turned my head left, then right, and then I forced myself to click submit. A wave of fear washes over me...I frantically try to find a back button to reverse it but alas, the damage is done. I know what will take my mind off it! A 30 state consolidated return the client wants in 3 days that hasn't been started! All of a sudden...I shudder in fear as I hear the 300 lb tax partner shuffle past my desk, newspaper under his arm as he goes to the bathroom to defile it, but where there are no windows to open. What's that? Another skype from the intern? He wants me to tell him what "e-file" means? Is it another name for email?

    I love public accounting

    Switching B4: How to Sneak Out for Interview?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 07:48 PM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    B4 Tax here. I'm exploring opportunities with other B4 firms on the other side of the country. Long story short: I've always wanted to move to the West Coast as that is where my friends and family are. I made the request to transfer but my firm pulled a 180 on me last minute (dick move but whatever).

    I already made contact with recruiters of two other B4 firms on the West Coast and it could potentially lead to interviews (knock on wood). Given that I would have to fly across the country for these interviews, how the heck would I sneak out of work for them?

    I have some vacation time but I don't want to charge it since the norm has always been to make people aware of charging vacation ahead of time and Fall busy season is not the right time to "take" a vacation.

    My original plan was to tell everyone that I have a personal matter to attend so I won't be in the office but I would have my laptop with me and deployable. How would that sound? I'm concerned that my senior would hound me about it after I get back. But would emphasis on "personal matter" allow me to not disclose the details?

    Any feedback would be helpful!

    For Becker scholars, try this to entertain yourselves.

    I started listening to the lectures at 1.25x while studying AUD (my first section) with Mike Brown, eventually working my way up to 2x by the time I was studying my second section.

    I'm now on my last section studying BEC and I thought I'd see how my ears have changed. Mike Brown suddenly sounds so drunk I can't even handle it XD

    When doing taxes, what type of profession/business were you schocked by how much or little they make?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 06:29 PM PDT

    Is this worth bringing up to upper management?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 01:18 PM PDT

    Long story short, I'm a 3rd year senior in tax sitting here at work right now in an office all alone. Same story yesterday, last Saturday, the Saturday before that, and I assume tomorrow in an office of 100.

    This has been the story of the year. We are understaffed (we are trying to higher 5 new seniors alone for almost a year now)and I have had 0 work life balance. As such I've been getting work dumped on me because I'm really the only one people can trust. Everyone else in tax also has an increase in hours, but nothing like myself (as evident by working 10 hour days this whole holiday weekend alone).

    This is wearing on me. I thought when I got my annual review in July, I'd see a compensation bump to show appreciation for working hard during this skeleton crew busy season, nope. In fact my raise was the lowest it has ever been at 4.3%. Now I'm sitting here wondering what the fuck am I doing to myself, while missing cookouts.

    Throw in that I have 100-300 more hours than any auditor (that's right, not even a senior manager over there has more hours than me) for the same pay and it's defeating.

    Before anyone says quit, I want to exhaust my options first. I actually love the people I work with and a handful are close friends outside of work.

    Is this worth bringing up how unfair this is? How would I even do it without seeming like a complainer?

    How to cope with burnout?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 03:38 AM PDT

    Hi there, how do you guys deal with burnout?

    I've been working in Big4 transaction advisory for 1 year and 9 months now (associate, first job), but this is the closest to losing my crap and resigning already. My reason is that I am just plain tired of putting up 80 hour workweeks (for 2 months straight now) plus weekends given the high project volume we've received recently.

    Or maybe resigning isn't a good idea at this time, and I just haven't mastered the art of disconnecting in the few hours I spend away from my pc screen.

    I am from Asia so our work dynamics/culture may be different here from plenty of you guys here, but I guess we'd have similar ways of blowing off steam.

    I don’t want big 4

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 12:50 PM PDT

    Ok guys so I'm 24 going back to school. I went through some health issues real early 20s while in school which caused me to miss a lot of classes so my gpa went to 2.8 with over 60 credit hrs. Personally my health made me reevaluate what I want in life and would hate to go the big 4 route. Giving my grades which should go up what are the different routes I could take if I pursue accounting?

    When dreading fall busy season, dread no more. You can pray to the patron saint of accounting, Saint Matthew!

    Tax Intern Resume Help

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 02:23 PM PDT

    Hey guys, I just completed a tax internship this summer but the firm was unable to offer me a position where I wanted to go. I'm looking to go into audit full-time(yes, not tax). I just wanted some advice on what to put on my resume. I worked on about 20 different tax returns including individuals, partnerships, and S-corps. I also worked on an audit engagement for a large country for about a week. I completed a project with another intern on the process of preparing an individual tax return as well as a partnership and presented this to the entire local practice.

    If anyone had some ideas for what to write on my resume, that would be much appreciated. Seems like it's hard to come up with job descriptions when you are just working on returns all day. Thanks in advance!

    I also have 2/4 CPA exams passed and I'm not sure where to include that on my resume?

    What Makes a Class on Corporate Taxation So Hard?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 06:06 PM PDT

    Hello! This coming quarter, I'm going to be in a class about Corporate Taxation, but I've head it's the hardest class in the accounting curriculum at my school. When I prepared returns in my internship, I do remember that with C and S corporations I had to rearrange their TB and recalculate depreciation for MACRS. I know with taxation, the difficulty's in the rules, so which rules make Corporate Taxation so hard? I want to get an idea as to what I'm getting into here.

    do i have to take off my cartilage piercings?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 09:21 PM PDT

    i have 3 piercings on one ear and 4 on the other so i was wondering if that counts as being "unprofessional" in the workplace like tattoos would be

    i'm a female with long hair so i suppose i could just cover my ears but i'd rather have my hair up while i work but i don't want to waste $150 worth of piercings

    What accounting topic gave you the most difficult time in school, or do you have the most trouble understanding?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 09:52 AM PDT

    I always thought pension and post-retirement benefits accounting was the worst. Thoughts?

    Leaving B4 as Senior Manager in Tax (Private Equity). What are my options?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 09:21 AM PDT

    I'm a first year senior manager at the Big 4. I'm in Private Equity. When I started my career I thought about leaving as SM for maybe a Vice President - Tax role. However, now I'm so vested in the firm, being partner or a managing director is not too far away. Do you know anyone who left for a VP? If so, what type of compensation should I expect?

    What's the process of AP and AR?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 11:52 AM PDT

    Are you just calling clients to let them know of their debt being past due? and for AP you just make the payments on time? What's the typical process? and for staff accountants or higher roles who do AP AR on the side, is it the same?

    Why is it so hard to study !?

    Posted: 01 Sep 2019 07:23 PM PDT

    I'm currently taking intermediate accounting 1 and the ch.1 which talks about general accounting environment, like characteristics and purpose of SEC, AICA, FASB (FAF,FASB,FASAC) and how they work each other. Are these necessary to know when working after graduation ? I keep reading the chapter like 3 times and still don't get how they work specifially and how knowing them would affect me. I understand some but it would not get into my head 😓
