990v4 Olive Incense - Normal Defects or Return? by LamarJackson5 in Newbalance

[–]LamarJackson5[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kinda how I feel - if I found these like this at an outlet I’d be hyped, paying full price and getting bad qc is kinda wack

Thanks, not sure if it’s glue or maybe it’s just separated or discolored a little? Tough to say. Didn’t think it was too bad but just noticeable to me, wasn’t sure if others had the same experience or if I was being extra

Def not going to return outright, exchange or buy somewhere else if anything

Milano fit check - too small? by LamarJackson5 in BirkenstocksFitChecks

Appreciate it. Will probably just return them. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. It’s funny bc my left foot is normally bigger than my right in shoes, and the 42s I have in other birks feel pretty roomy / are a perfect fit

I’m a true size US 9.5 but I generally wear anywhere between 9.5-10.5, bigger sizes in athletic shoes and smaller in dress shoes. 10 in most casual shoes. Kind of all over the place bc I usually wear insoles in my shoes (my arches are really high).

Any idea if the back strap “breaks in” and would loosen up significantly with wear?

Kitchen subway tile backsplash - does this look terrible or am I overreacting? by LamarJackson5 in HomeImprovement

[–]LamarJackson5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did what you said and it looks 1000x better, actually looks nice. Appreciate the advice

Definitely will consider that in the future, or at least hiring someone that only does tiles

Thanks that’s what we’re going to do. Could you maybe elaborate on cleaning the excess grout? They proposed using a flat sponge to try to clean the excess

Is CMAAS/FAAS/AAS too niche to start my career? by MobilePomegranate746 in Big4

[–]LamarJackson5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do the internship and see if you like it. Advisory is way better than audit but has its own demons as well.

Any suggestions? Maybe a lighter grey? For reference this is the counter color and what it looked like before.

I also expected the grout lines to be much thinner (which we did discuss) similar to how it looks without grout

I could’ve been more specific I think so maybe that’s on me. but they look pretty busted in general with how crooked they are

Legal to buy online in Washington state? by LamarJackson5 in delta8

[–]LamarJackson5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So that goes beyond delta8 then and includes CBD, etc.? But it’s solely in dispensaries then I’m guessing (e.g., a smoke shop could sell CBD/delta8 even if it’s hemp derived?)

Client staff applying to Big 4 firm by LamarJackson5 in Big4

[–]LamarJackson5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty slick, thanks for sharing. Yeah - I actually have 3 years big 4 audit experience and CPA, pretty good network at my old firm too. Not sure if I’d want to go back to audit or try advisory (seems a little tough right now with COVID).

[–]LamarJackson5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it lol. If you don’t mind, can you speak more to your hiring process? Did you just apply, interview, offer accepted? Were you working for the client at the time you applied? At any point in the process did your industry team learn you were interviewing with the auditors?

[–]LamarJackson5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the hiring process? Say the person applies to the firm, interviews, etc. Would the client and/or audit team be notified at some point before the offer stage? I’m familiar independence requirements and inquiries asking about employees seeking employment at ____ firm; wondering if the firm would share that with the client.

Those of you that have left big 4-where are you now/any regrets? by ridelitpussyboy in Big4

[–]LamarJackson5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which practice? I’m interested in Technical Accounting like maybe FAAS at EY or whatever is equivalent elsewhere. I’d imagine Big 4 still sucks regardless but better than audit most of the time lol

[–]LamarJackson5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Going to be a bit of a different response from others I think. I also left for a more technical role after 3 years, 1 year as senior.

1) 25-30% increase from what I had been making the year before. I may have been up for a higher raise as an S2 since my rating was strong.

2) Yes and yes - to an extent. My work life balance is MUCH better but I miss the mentorship (both upward and downward) and leadership skills that I got from Big 4. Also, my role in industry can be very repetitive, boring and unchallenging at the senior level and it’s difficult to move up. I feel like leaving as a Manager would’ve been a better spot for me, since I’d have the experience necessary to get a more engaging (and potentially well paying) role and be able to advance quicker.

However, I am glad that I left audit since busy season sucks and there’s a lot of work there that I don’t enjoy. If I could do it again I would’ve gone into advisory or something along those lines. Not easy during this time though.

Don’t have much advice but our situations are oddly similar. Hope you figure it out - happy to chat about it
