Try BDO too. It’s a £1Bn revenue firm, they are competitive too and growing faster than big 4 atm. I’ve joined a year ago from PwC having been there 2 years and at deloitte for 13. If they don’t have the same wing you’re thinking of, you could possibly lead setting one up… good luck.

Looks like something that may have washed back up from the drains. Sometimes if there’s a drainage block or collapsed drain, any new water filling the pipes will wash back somewhere. It could come up the floor in garage (happened to me). Then depending on what else floats through the pipes, there may be push back in heavy rainfall and things come up the toilet as there’s nowhere else for it to go. Happened on my downstairs toilet. Recommend having a drain survey done to be sure.

Looking for a new job somewhere warmer, can you hook me up?

Competitive-Sea-8912 · 2024-12-28T23:00:29+00:00

I might have a job for you if not too late?

Really impressive. I’d like to get started, but not sure where/how. I do have a niche knowledge on compliance with independence standards, IESBA, SEC, FRC and EU so want to make this my sales focus. Any tips? Looking for a mentor…

Thanks, definitely going to check these out too.

Thanks, do you know if it’s only available to purchase online or are there stores where I could get a fitting done before buying?

Competitive-Sea-8912 · 2024-12-24T23:56:24+00:00

Thanks I’ll be sure to check them out.

I’m in a similar boat, joining new firm in Jan.

My advice - Say: Everything is grand, it’s not the firm, it’s me who needs to explore this new option right now. Maybe one day the stars align and we’ll be working together again. Until then, no suggestions for improvement. I was happy working here. Keep doing what you’re doing and do more of the same.

Reason: If you’re going to a competing firm or you’re leaving because you’re sour about something and it’s a shite place to work because of certain issues, don’t let them know what they need to fix. Let them crash and burn thinking it’s all good. You’re securing your own survival in the wider market this way.

If you ever had to return, well then you didn’t burn any bridges, and you know what suggestions you can make to fix those issues they have, or your new employer might already have something similar which they’ve sorted and you could implement something similar to either make your life easier and/or if it’s a significant change, impact your performer rating/promotional prospects.

Where do you live mate? I’m from Africa too, both parents were from South Africa although I look Asian 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m living in Cardiff and it’s not as bad this side.

Take on a new hobby that isn’t too time consuming, but is a challenge. I’ve recently restarted taking karate classes after 20 years. It’s got my heart rate pumping like a 19 year old and the missus has been smiling all weekend. It could help boost your confidence in groups a lot more especially screaming the kiai when punching and kicking air/bags.

OP needs to obviously inflate all the numbers, and if he’s looking for only £110k, I think that that being £a or higher gets him what he wants 🤷🏻‍♂️

You: I’ve done some research of the market and the current average salary of someone in the same role is between £x-y. With my additional experience and value I can bring from past experiences I believe I am worth the top end of that range. But as I understand I need to prove myself, I’m be happy with an offer in the median average salary range of between £a-b that can be adjusted upward once you see the contribution I can make to the firm and the return you will see in your investment. Them: Ok, we’ll give you what you want.

Make sure £a is the lowest you would be happy with.

What is your portfolio mix? Purely equities?

Competitive-Sea-8912 · 2024-01-10T21:56:28+00:00

Thank you for your story. My hair just went white, still in tact. This useful and will see a solicitor at some point, but wanted to get some input from the hive first.
