    60 hours a week during 2 week notice?

    Posted: 12 Feb 2022 12:45 PM PST

    Hey guys, I recently had a post about quitting and I put my 2 week notice in. Should I work 60 hours a week during my 2 week notice? They have really loaded me up with work but I don't have as much motivation anymore.

    How do you decide if you want to climb the corporate ladder or peace out in government?

    Posted: 12 Feb 2022 02:32 PM PST

    If you are a 23 year old senior in Big 4 PA, you can probably grind out in corporate and hit $150k+ by the time you are 30. And it will only go up from there. 200k by 35, 300~400k by 40, etc.

    But then, let's say you exit to an easy gov job at 25. You won't ever have to work past 5 or pick up calls at 9pm. Your salary will be high enough to live comfortably. It will probably start out in the 70~80k range, which might be higher than what you were making before, but it will never likely exceed 110~130k even in your 30s and 40s.

    How do you decide which path to take? I'm genuinely curious.

    It’s a crazy world out here

    Small PA firm - can’t stand how they operate….

    Posted: 12 Feb 2022 07:04 AM PST

    Started at a small PA firm like 6 months ago and here are some things that really bother me…. Can anyone provide any insight if other small firms are like this???

    1. Strict times to be in - very micromanaged.
    2. Zero flexibility to work from home.
    3. No perks during busy season like free food, coffee etc.
    4. Text me on weekends when things pop up.
    5. Everything is done on paper.
    6. They hate using email so if someone is explaining a project I basically gotta drop everything that I'm doing and start scribbling down the info
    7. Constantly making rude comments behind peoples back if anyone shows up late, doesn't come in due to snow storm etc.
    8. The work itself is a mess… absolutely nothing on the filed tax returns ties out to the work papers, retained earnings never roles even with an in-house bookkeeper…. Just a big mess.
    9. Very disorganized in general
    10. No flexibility for doctors appointments, etc during busy season since you gotta be in at a certain time and work the 55 minimum.
    11. Have blamed me for things like emailing a client when I wasn't supposed to even though they told me I could….
    12. People have stolen personal things off my desk to use like my phone charger, hand cream etc
    13. Everyone knows each others passwords to emails ?? So they can go in whenever they want to.
    14. Have repeatedly asked for another monitor to be more productive and they won't get one for me even though they asked me originally about it
    15. Originally when I interviewed they said they were flexible with hours / remote but that is definitely not the case
    16. Only 10 days of vacation a year to use how you want (we get 4th of July week off too but still, I can't choose that)
    17. They refuse to automate things or do work papers etc on the computer - just very frustrating in general because they make it harder than it needs to be especially for year over year clients.
    18. No employee handbook or anything to go off of if I need to
    19. Don't pay for cpe credits or ptin fee or anything related to the job
    20. Zero lunch breaks / dinner breaks - everyone stays at their desk all day long
    21. Oh and the office is just a mess…. Like literally smells lol

    I'm probably forgetting a few things but those are what seriously bother me to the point I'm like is this normal???? I went from a top 10 PA firm to a small PA firm like (10 ppl max) and it's just very opposite of what I was expecting. Def going to find a new job in a few months so it will all be fine but I'm genuinely curious if this is how other super small PA firms run their offices??

    Move to another country

    Posted: 13 Feb 2022 01:18 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    I am an Indian who is working in one of the big4 since past 2 years.

    I have completed my Graduation, ACCA and CPA.

    What are your thoughts of me moving to another country like UK, USA and continue with my career there? Also I am open to any advice regarding this.

    Entry-level accounting jobs?

    Posted: 12 Feb 2022 11:41 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    Apologies if this has already been asked a few times before so if you'd prefer to just drop a few links to websites or other threads, I'd love that!

    I'm currently a full-time accounting/finance student, and can only work up to 20 hours a week. Given these restrictions, how does one land a decent accounting-related job? I'm open to clerk and assistant positions; just need the pay and experience. Can't quite find a way to break into the industry.

    I'm currently doing a co-op semester in an accounting-related field but I'm worried that might not be enough given that I don't 2-3 years of experience (entry level jobs seem to ask for this for some reason, but that's a discussion for another day). Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Does anyone think about going back to school to do CS

    Posted: 12 Feb 2022 06:29 PM PST

    There's a very reputable university in my country that offers a second degree in comp sci in just under 2 years. Or 3 if you do co-op.

    i know math is hard but what if i just grinded out 24/7 for the next 3 years and get a 200k job instead of grinding out in accounting for the next 15 years to hit that 200k.

    and even if i can't get FAANG, if I have both CPA and a CS degree, I'll be pretty much guaranteed to get some data analytics/business analytics for a minimum 120k i bet.

    much better than dealing with month ends for the rest of my life.

    Salary transparency database

    Posted: 12 Feb 2022 07:27 PM PST

    In the spirit of salary transparency, just wanted to point you guys to payscale.finance, where I'm building a salary database for finance that's 100% free to and takes <45 seconds to use.. I think it's important to understand what reasonable offer letters are, and what other career options are out there... it's a new website, and there's tons of entries for big 4 accounting.. would love to hear everyone's thoughts/feedback on it if possible!

    Does anyone else in public feel detached?

    Posted: 12 Feb 2022 10:22 AM PST

    I want to do a good job and be passionate about my work but just with the amount of work and expectations I am getting/will soon get, I feel like I am emotionally detaching from work, and since work is all I'm doing right now I feel this way all the time and it feels a bit depressing. I was the opposite last busy season and was very into it but it caused me a lot of stress. I don't know how to shake this feeling, it's almost like a neurological response my brain is giving me to protect itself.

    How are you all doing?
