    BBA Accounting Major: Starting Salary and Salary Progression

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 04:59 PM PST

    I am interested in majoring in Accounting just because I have really enjoyed my accounting classes and have done pretty well in them (getting A's in all of them). I am a junior now and currently looking for internships, but I do have a few questions for anyone that has probably been in my shoes. First off, does anyone regret going into accounting? I know that a lot of people say that the job is boring but honestly I find the work to be fun and amusing. Also, what was your starting salary (if your comfortable with exposing) and how long did it take you to move up (what did your salary progression look like). Do you have a CPA and are you in public, private, or non-profit? I am also interested in data analytics and wanted to know if it is possible to become a data analyst. Thanks for the help!

    I need a reality check

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 01:01 PM PST

    I'm in need of some honest answers and career advice.

    Some background about myself – I worked close to 3 years in public accounting in a regional firm and worked for just over a year in government. I didn't like the hours in public and the pay in gov was a bit too low for my liking. I jumped to internal audit at a medium sized private company and things were pretty sweet for a while. Everyone was chill and we practically never worked over 40 hours a week. The old Chief Audit Officer even lets us out early during the summers if there was no work and we got the last week of the year off.

    I've always gotten average evaluations. I'm no gunner and haven't really had the ambition to start any side projects since nobody really cares. Promotion potential is basically non-existent in this place. COVID didn't change much except we work from home most of the time. But it looks like the good times are essentially over as we got a new CAO a few months ago – a much younger guy who was a senior manager at a F500 internal audit department.

    This new guy is talking a lot about efficiency, time management, and he's really into data metrics, dashboards, automation, AI, and other corporate buzzwordy things. Now we are expected to do very detailed time tracking, engage in side projects, and be change priorities at a moment's notice to meet our stakeholders needs or something. I'm no softie, but I think this guy is rather mean too. I have a CPA and I got 2 parts of the CIA exam done and he criticized me in an all hands meeting for being so slow to get the last part done. He openly calls people out for not having enough work and sent an email to everyone asking if they attended XYZ free 1.5-hour webinar training and if not – explain why you didn't.

    So now I'm just starting to look for jobs in my area. I haven't looked in a while so I was a bit shocked at the slim pickings. I talked to a manager that retired from here a year ago to get his opinion and he says the economy is super strong and there should be plenty of jobs everywhere (the guy only watches 1 news source that claims COVID is overblown and things are going fine).

    Sorry for being long winded and ranting.
    TL; DR – current IA job is starting to suck and I'm confused, looking for another IA job and need answers.

    Here's my questions:

    1. How terrible is the job market? I can't seem to find more than a few similar positions in a 50 mile radius. Most positions were posted 30+ days ago.

    2. Should I even contemplate leaving this job during COVID?

    3. Was my early experience in internal audit atypical with 40 hour work weeks and chill, non-ambitious coworkers? What are other IA depts like in your experience?

    4. Has my easy experience made me a lazy employee? Maybe I should just suck it up and take it like I'm back in public accounting?

    Advice on joining a medium-sized public firm and succeeding?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 04:01 PM PST

    Just got fired from Big 4, didn't pass the 3 month trial period (audit senior). Basically I disclosed I had major depression and didn't feel good for some days, and I got fired on the following day. They even told me "if we know you were depressed you wouldn't even had been hired in the first place", which is discriminatory and illegal where I live, but anyways. The manager I was working with is a horrible person (according to her fellow managers, partners and everyone that works with her; not me) and she simply didn't like me so she set a case to fire me. Other managers even told me they tried to not get me fired but this woman kept insisting.

    They gave me a chance at a "Big 10" firm. I've spoken a lot with the main partner directly, multiple times. She's a very nice lady. Had a meeting with other seniors and managers during interviews and everyone seemed very nice and close on a personal level. I'll get paid slightly more and I'll be seeing less stressful clients. No more crazy deadlines. She even has a policy on chilling out and hanging together on friday afternoons.

    I am feeling very confident now, my self esteem has returned. I still feel uneasy because they use Caseware for audit and I've never used that tool. I'm used to Canvas and Aura and I hated both. But I am feeling optimistic for the first time in half a decade.

    PwC PCS audit, good move or no?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 04:55 PM PST

    Hey everyone, it's your friendly confused first year here.

    I just started in audit, and specifically in PwC's PCS audit practice and was wondering if someone could explain to me the implications of being in this specific LoS will have on my career in the long run vs being in one where I'd work on public clients. FWIW I originally picked PCS audit because the people that I talked to from the practice seemed pretty contempt with their choice, but I guess I should know a bit more about it.

    The main things I'm wondering are:

    1. How do the exit opps compare for people that audit private vs public clients? Is one objectively "better" than the other or just different?
    2. How do the busy seasons compare? I've looked on the subreddit but I've seen some conflicting answers.

    Any other pros or cons that you can think of, I'd also love to hear. Thanks!

    Manager Nightmare

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 06:56 PM PST

    Working at the big 4 for awhile now in audit and recently promoted to senior. However just got put on this new team for 2 weeks and I hate it. The manager is demoralizing and is one of the worst managers I've dealt with. I've never receive clear instructions on what to do and because of that my work is constantly being picked on and I am yelled at constantly. Its really taking a toll on my mental health. Considering it's only been 2 weeks, I am literally counting the weeks till I roll off.

    The other projects I've been on I've been lucky to have pretty easygoing managers but this is just not it. I just checked my schedule and saw I'm on this project again with the same manager next year. How should I navigate my time on this project and try to get off this project next year?
