    First years - how are we doing?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 06:04 PM PST

    It's only been 4 days into the busy season and I can tell this whole virtual thing is going to suck big time in terms of getting to understand what I'm working on.

    4 days into busy season and I’m already at this stage ��

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 10:28 AM PST

    I think it's time to pull the trigger and leave my public gig... just ranting.

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 10:33 AM PST

    I had a superior call me today and chew me out for 20 minutes for *daring* to use my PTO between Christmas and New Year, after being told that he wouldn't hold my decision against me. I essentially said "I will be available to help if you need me to be, but would prefer not to work on my break," was told to make a firm decision, so I said no. But apparently that was wrong because "I wasn't there for the client". Like OK, first off this is just a job, and second if I didn't take the time off I would have had to lose it when the year rolled over, AND I did offer to help anyways.

    So I've been sitting in my office for hours fuming, and trying not to make any rash decisions, but I think it's time to GTFO. I had been thinking about leaving *for months*, but suddenly Woops! it's January. I generally like the people here and I don't want to screw them, but I feel like I'm barely hanging on to my sanity and I need a break before finding something in industry or just becoming a fuckin' bum at this rate. Part of me says I would be a lunatic for leaving an otherwise 'stable' job right now, but... the burnout and lack of fucks is real. This is my 7th year and I really question whether I give a shit about making it to manager and beyond anymore.

    I understand that it's best to find a job when you have a job already, but like... damn I really think I could just use some time to myself while I think about my next move. Financially I will be fine for the foreseeable future (thanks, lifelong accountant state of mind), but it still feels... maybe too risky. I don't know, I guess I'm scared that I'm not qualified to do anything else outside of public.

    I don't have a real question I guess. Just needed a place to vent. Sorry.

    Question for recent graduates / students - what is up with the LinkedIn job announcements?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 07:54 PM PST

    Do your professors / colleges or the firms tell you to do them? Does everyone do them? I'm old so I only see when one of my contacts "likes" them but in general they seem very disingenuous. But I don't blame the students if someone is telling you to do this!

    Dreading tax season

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 08:13 PM PST

    I'm just dreading this tax season. (Manager at mid size local firm)

    Should I drag my feet and work from home as much as possible even though I'm pretty sure it will annoy the partners? I guess I don't care so much anymore since they never promote women to partner anyway.

    I have a new tax partner who is a pompous big 4 jerk.

    Another year with the same clients, same staff. Yawn...

    I just wanna work at Nordstrom 😭

    Which accounting firm do you think is the crookest in the world and why?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 07:00 PM PST

    Looks like Juan is an accountant now.

    The sound QB makes when you delete an entry just hits.

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 02:13 PM PST

    I love it, it is the most satisfying thing ever. I'm not sure if it is the sound itself or the fact that I'm getting rid of something retarded the client did.

    My list:

    • Black Dog
    • Cliffhanger
    • Death Race 1, 2, & 3
    • any Hallmark Christmas bullshit
    • any of the Fast & Furious - best is Tokyo Drift
    • any Scary Movie

    First ever internship. Never been more lost with excel

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 06:23 PM PST

    Hello everyone,

    It's my first internship in audit at a regional firm. I'm going through training and realizing how little I know about excel. We are getting into descriptive statistics and advanced charts.

    I really enjoyed the vlookup and pivot tables. I am graduating in the spring and I never used excel to this extent.

    What advice do you have for getting better? How reliant are audit procedures on excel? I am worried my proficiency isn't going to be good enough to get me through busy season as a full time associate.

    Not Getting Promoted to Manager this Year and Now Worried About My Career

    Posted: 07 Jan 2021 07:23 PM PST

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm currently a Senior Consultant in Advisory (not risk) with a Big 4 firm. I'm posting from a throwaway to preserve my anonymity since my team checks this subreddit. Long story short is I talked to my coach and I don't think I'll get promoted to Manager this year. I'm now 7 years into my career and am worried about achieving my goals and am looking for advice. Here's my career thus far:

    • Failed to get Big 4 out of school - started at a smaller firm, made senior (3.5 years)
    • Switched to First Big 4 firm in audit. Had to take a year or so step backward or they wouldn't take me on. Went from experienced associate --> senior (2.5 years).
    • Got really sick of audit and wanted to do more technical accounting/transactions work. Got opportunity to join AAS group at another Big 4 firm with intention of making Manager within 1-2 years. (1 year)

    Thanks to some bad luck with staffing, I unfortunately will likely not get promoted to Manager this year, according to my Coach. The problem was that I got hired on to do the aforementioned technical accounting/transactions work, but that wasn't really available when I rolled off my last project and was about to join this new one (I finished my last project in April during peak COVID shitstorm time for reference). In order to have enough billable hours to not get canned, I got myself stuck on a year long system implementation project with the Consulting team and wasn't able to perform at a "Manager" level. I did my job well enough for a Senior Consultant, but due to lack of familiarity with the system I was working with and the deliverable required in general, it took me a long time to get up to speed and I only got a "Meets" versus "Exceeds" expectations. That coupled with the fact that there was already a lot of people held back from the prior year due to COVID is making it very doubtful I get the nod.

    Putting that aside, I'm really worried now about my career. My end goal is to eventually become a CFO or Controller, like everyone else, but I don't know if I'm going to be considered competitive anymore if my resume shows it took me so long to get to Manager.

    Does anyone have advice or some helpful anecdotes of someone who started off slowly but still turned out fine after transitioning to industry? I frankly do think I'm an intelligent, hardworking person who has some solid skills from being in both audit and now doing advisory/consulting work. The fact that my team didn't let me roll-off when our project got a scope increase and the fact that I didn't get canned during the layoffs also makes me think the firm doesn't think I'm hopeless either. I'm just kind of concerned at how underpaid and titled I am at this stage of my career, especially since I've been working really hard.

    If anyone has advice on this or has been in a similar spot, I'd appreciate the help. I honestly am feeling pretty crappy right now, so any tips would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
