| RSM - Fuck "virtual audit room". I wanna quit Posted: 08 Dec 2020 05:06 PM PST Fuck this idea. They're pushing this crap and it literally makes me want to quit. Can we all unanimously protest. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Assigned an in person inventory count on New Year’s Eve... Posted: 08 Dec 2020 03:01 PM PST I was just assigned an in person inventory count on New Year's Eve, 3 hours from where I live. And this was after I submitted the survey saying I was not comfortable with in person counts... lmao. Is there any point in pushing back on this/ asking for a virtual count? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Gonna apply for new job after 1 month with current employer. Posted: 08 Dec 2020 06:14 PM PST Was told during the interview process that they'd match 401k contribution and allow part-time work from home, even after COVID. On my first day I was told they don't match any contribution and I've been working at the office alone since my managerhas been working from home. Also, my manager calls other employees idiots behind their back. Do I put my employement there on my resume? Can I tell an interviewer why I want to leave my current employer? Do larger firms generally treat employees like garbage? Should I bother going through a recruiter? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 08 Dec 2020 06:24 AM PST About a couple weeks ago I shared on here that I was laid off/let go from a public accounting firm. With two weeks having past, I'm beginning to feel a lot happier and I'm applying to jobs that are more interesting. [link] [comments]  | ||
| From an outsider's perspective, PWC seems like the worst firm to work for (in the short term) Posted: 08 Dec 2020 01:57 PM PST This is strictly my outside opinion, as an observer! I don't mean this to sound like a dig, because the B4 experience is generally the same throughout all firms.. But I would absolutely HATE being in the purgatory of being a staff for 3 full years. I feel like it stunts the potential to leave the firm within that time period for a lot of staff. Maybe I'm wrong here, but its bull shit that ya'll need to wait 3 years for the promo Its annoying that it takes an extra year for you to get that rank advancement to start increasing your value on the job market [link] [comments]  | ||
| Booked meeting with partner tomorrow, planning on quitting without a job Posted: 08 Dec 2020 05:23 AM PST I'm going to give my two weeks in tomorrow with no solid plan for the future. It's scary, but I think about how I cried almost every single day last busy season (which lasted from Jan - May atleast). This is called protecting mental health right? I'm not just being a baby? It almost feels like something's broken inside of me. I get triggered everytime I get an email, and on the other hand I feel like my body has shutdown the stress system inside of me for protection. I have zero motivation, its obviously done for me :( The firm will get more done with a less burntout manager. I hope all the relationships I made over the past 5 years will still be there.

| Top 21 Best Comfortable Computer Chairs For Long Hours in 2021 Posted: 08 Dec 2020 05:50 PM PST Choosing to work long hours is a mixed bag. Sometimes, it's not up to you, but your boss. Working hard can contribute to your success. You gain skills and experience fast, and you develop your grit. Working hard can also feel very rewarding if you value and enjoy your work. On the flip side, you can also burn out, harm your relationships, and make poor decisions in your work because you're not giving yourself a chance to step back and see the big picture. Prioritizing work often means de-prioritizing other areas, including health. Many people still look at long hour hours on the job as proof of their work ethic. Some historians trace the work ethic to the Protestant Reformation in the 1500s, when working hard was thought to align with the values of their faith. Long Work Hours? An advice for your Long Day at a Desk14,000 hours. If you have a full-time desk job, that's the minimum amount of time you'll spend sitting over the next 10 years. Add the nights you have to work late, the weekends you're called into the office, and those unexpected occasions you end up scarfing down lunch in front of your computer, and the hour count only goes up from there Americans who work full time log an average of 47 hours a week, according to a 2014 Gallup poll, and some, of course, put in many more hours. While Americans like to pride themselves on being the hardest workers around, it's not necessarily true, according to global statistics from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Its 2014 report found that overall, Mexicans average 43 hours a week, compared with U.S. workers' 34.2 hours. But in recent years, researchers have found that working long hours is linked with a variety of health issues. Among the ailments linked with long work, hours are a stroke, heart disease, mental health problems, diabetes, and abnormal heart rhythms. Experts don't agree on whether all workaholics or workers who put in long hours are cut from the same cloth. The debate: Is it the long work hours or the mentality of the workers that affect health? Some say those who work long hours by choice because they are "engaged" in work but not compulsive may escape the health consequences. And some people, of course, must work long hours just to make ends meet. An Office Chair Might Save your LifeIf you spend a lot of time at your desk, you know first-hand that an office job can take a toll on both your mind and your body. Whether you work in a medical clinic, at home, or financial institution, any office job requires long hours in uncomfortable positions. As a result, many people experience posture-related back and neck problems. At the root of this problem is the quality of an individual's office chair. Without a good office chair, you risk not only daily discomfort but the possibility of facing permanent damage to your back and/or neck. It's no surprise to those that work in an office how important a high-quality office chair is. The difficulty can be knowing which one will work best for you. An ideal office chair is one that will not just keep you comfortable all day, but for years at a time. Given the extensive negative impact a poor office chair can have on your overall health, the importance of owning the right one is difficult to understate. Office chairs are not like a pair of shoes; you can't try it out for a minute or two and know for sure if it fits. To combat this issue, it's important to have a chair that you can customize and adjust to your liking. You need your chair to work for you, not the other way around The need for comfortable office chairs that can reliably provide high levels of comfort for long hours has grown tremendously over the past few years. That's because, today, a huge chunk of our time is spent in the stuck in our chairs. Given that you are forced to sit for about 6 to 8 hours a day at work, a great way to maintain proper health is to invest in an ergonomic computer chair.

| Salary Progression Accounting Toronto [CA] Posted: 08 Dec 2020 06:36 PM PST This is my first reddit post so apologies in advance if I unknowingly violate any rules. I am a second year (F2/A2) staff at a big4 in Toronto making $54.5k. I am starting to seriously worry about my opportunities post-CFE and am hoping to understand what I can expect in industry after I get my letters. From what I gather people tend to get about $85k when they leave in Toronto but I have heard as little as $75k from similar posts. Can more seasoned accountants (or any career path post big4) provide their salary progression every year after leaving as well as their path (IA, FA, SA etc)?? CPA Ontario claims average salary is $147k and $107k median however I have serious doubts about these figures' validity. Any other recommendations would be seriously appreciated!

| Posted: 08 Dec 2020 07:46 PM PST (Tax) I'm taking 6 months off work in 2022 for personal reasons (travel, etc) not sure if I will do the 2022 busy season and quit April 15 or sometime before that. Anyway, I really am not happy in the firm I'm at. My raise was about 2% of my current salary but the workload I took on due to people quitting is ridiculous. We just lost some more employees right before busy season so its looking like more work will be dumped on me too. I am a classic case of being good at your job and getting rewarded with additional work but no reward. There was a rumor that I was getting a promotion but found out I'm not. I'm just so done.. I'll be a 2nd year staff but also interned at this company and was pretty much doing the work of a first year staff during my internship so its my 3rd busy season with them. Just got my cpa too but I'm waiting to be paid the bonus and reimbursement. What would you do in my situation? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Has anyone joined their firms holiday party before they’ve started working there? Posted: 08 Dec 2020 05:33 PM PST I accepted an audit position after graduation and I've been invited to their holiday party. Would it be frowned upon if I chose not to attend since I haven't begun working there? Has anyone been in this situation and actually attended, if so how was it? To clarify, I'm still in school won't start for another year and half. [link] [comments]  | ||
| For those of you working in PA... how do you keep a strong mindset Posted: 08 Dec 2020 04:32 PM PST I've been working in audit at Big 4 since October of this year. I have 2/4 exams passed... taking the third at the end of December, then hopping right into busy season and once that is over I'll begin studying for my last exam. I knew going in, that public accounting wasn't easy, especially while having to study for the CPA exam... but the work really is so boring. WFH all day long alone in my room is driving me crazy. Everyday I wake up, study, work, eat lunch, work, study, do some chores and then go to sleep just to wake up and repeat Mon-Fri, and then study on the weekends. How do you guys (and gals) do this? Knowing that I really won't have a solid break until I get thru busy season and finish my last exam which is prob around next summer is starting to take a toll on my mental health. I knew it was going to be hard but I never really thought I'd end up feeling like a soulless, depressed, anxiety-ridden robot. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Changed Major to Accounting, Now Physically Imploding With Excitement and Questions. Help! Posted: 08 Dec 2020 04:23 PM PST Alright. So, as the title suggests, I recently changed my major to accounting after this past semester. I was 2 years in a physics degree (For the most part, I was just completing prereqs and gen-eds at a pace of ~10 credits a semester+summer classes) but I was rocking a solid 4.0 GPA. I was resoundingly unhappy with my college's lab related courses as none of them adequately transitioned to an online format very well. It was such a shitshow that I felt a serious need to change majors. This decision has nothing to do with the challenges of a physics degree, rather how the department itself is run. Outright transferring colleges is out of the question for me as I am trying to remain around family. Anyways. To cover all the negative bases about me: I just turned 26, this will be my first degree, I'm autistic, I have PTSD stemming from physical abuse growing up, introverted with minor social anxiety, a history of annually moving, I have a spotty work history in all sorts of industries with nothing lasting more than 6 months plus a good chunk of time between each position. Oh yeah, and I'm poor as shit seeing maybe 15k coming into this household a year. Now that the deed is done and I can't stop researching and planning. I have set aside every distraction (minus the wife) even to the point of selling my game consoles and installing a site blocker for productivity, despite the next semester is a month away. Everything I look at sends me into this state of complete excitement. That's why I am here now. The opinions or much more probable roasting I am due to receive is likely to rein in some of my excess nature. Ever since the change, I've been spending my days watching other colleges' lectures on accounting taking notes. This is generally among many other related videos just so I can gain a deeper insight. Typically from sunrise to sunset. I've meticulously combed through my social media and removed any possibly controversial red flags for future recruiters, I've touched up my resume, and even crafted a substantial cover letter prototype. I've been consistently researching what it takes to be a CPA along with other possible certs. I have been measuring the angle of my potential trajectory with a degree from https://www.wright.edu/degrees-and-programs/profile/accountancy (Supplemental) https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/wright-state-9168/overall-rankings There is a Beta Alpha Psi chapter on campus which I believe I could enter once I hit the class requirements. And honestly, hell, a lot of the negatives that I read on here only rile me up further. I have a distinct NEED for consistency and genuine love for a good grind. I desire a subject I can throw my entire being at that will literally take all my time. I keep thinking about going into tax accounting but realistically, I think judgment calls like that should be reserved till after I have actually gone through the related classes. What sparked my interest in accounting was some initial research that I did which stated accounting would be a good profession for people with autism. Plus, the few classes I received A+'s in all the way back in high school were economics, financing, and general math-related courses. It just feels like the perfect fit from where I am currently standing. So, I never expected to write this much and just blurt everything out about my life but it is all there now. I will apologize for the haphazard spread of information and improper grammar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions: What does a career path with low success in this field look like vs medium to high levels of success? If you majored in accounting, what were you like? Excited? Mortified? With all my negatives, am I locked out of a possible big4 position? Should I only expect to work bottom of the barrel entry-level positions until I die? What are the realistic expectations I should have with accounting? Both the job and the college classwork? What is the best season to try and intern somewhere? I've never used Reddit, is that obvious? lol ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [link] [comments]  | ||
| How difficult is it to stay in public until manager? Posted: 08 Dec 2020 03:20 PM PST I'm at PwC in a large city. In my tax group, it takes two years to make senior, and another two to make manager (most of the firm takes 3 years to senior and another 2-3 to manager). I finished my CPA before I started working, and have now spent 1.5 years here as an associate. I should be promoted to senior this coming summer. I know the mantra is to make it to senior and then leave, but what about leaving at manager? Aside from a couple months each year, I don't dislike work and have a really friendly and helpful group. From looking at recent promotions and other team member's LinkedIns, it took them all 2 years at senior to be promoted to manager (sometimes 2 years and 3/4 months). That timeline doesn't seem that bad to me, making senior by my 24th birthday and manager right around my 26th. But I also, don't want to waste time here if the extra year or so won't boost my future salary compared to leaving after a year as senior. Any thoughts or experiences of those who stayed longer?
