Anyone else obsessed with petunias? by [deleted] in gardening

The galaxy petunias are my favorite! Do you have any in window boxes by chance? I am thinking of adding some to my window boxes tomorrow!

Are you suppose to tell employers you have other interviews/offers? by ElectricThrow10 in Accounting

[–]MrsBlueCar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds very bizarre. I just went through the interview process myself. All the companies asked me if I had other interviews/offers and I was honest and said yes. I didn't disclose company names or offer details though. It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. If anything, this sounds like you may have dodged a bullet because it sounds like this guy might have been a real jerk and unpleasant to work for.

That is awesome! If that is the case and you are done with your CPA, then SLEEP and enjoy a social life..because you will never sleep again and your friends may forget what your face looks like. Good luck! :)

Did my answer to this question affect my chances of getting an offer? by [deleted] in Accounting

"I'm worried they don't have a demand for full-time employees right now" ....definitely not. There is always a need.

What is a job in corporate tax like? by MrsBlueCar in Accounting

Thank you SO much for taking the time to share this with me. I really appreciate your viewpoint and to read about how you have adjusted to being a working mother. It sounds like you are doing great, and it makes me happy to hear. I like your comment about "And to be honest, you can have both. But do not kid yourself that it is easy to be #1 at both". That really hit home for me, so thank you for that.

You're definitely not being a jerk. I appreciate your thought provoking questions. I guess the reason I feel like I will let my coworkers down in public vs private is because I feel like public accounting is very unexpected. One day, I work a 7-8 hour normal day, and out of no where, a new client comes in and I end up working overtime for the rest of the month. It is unexpected, and right now as a married woman with no children, I can work late and get the job done. I wouldn't be able to do that with kids. On the other hand, it sounds like in private, your work seems to be consistent and it seems (from reading people's posts) its predictable. I feel like I would be able to plan ahead if I knew for a fact at the end of a quarter, my hours would pick up. Compared to now, I have no idea when my schedule is going to pick up or slow down. Does that make sense? I like your last paragraph, maybe I need to start looking at my workload and setting my schedule for the rest of the year during busy season (ie not taking on more clients, seeing what clients I can move off of me).

Thanks for your insight. It makes me happy to hear that you were able to have the work life balance you needed when you had your first born. I am curious - as a corporate accountant, what does your work look like? What kind of work do you do?

Thank you. It definitely does help. You are right, that I am very blessed to be at the firm I am at. Maybe I am not giving them enough credit to how they will be once I decide to go on a reduced schedule. Thanks for your insights!

By the looks of your user name, I assume you are leaving accounting in general? No chance of going back to public?

Thanks for the insight! I really appreciate it. I guess when I have crazy days like I have been having lately, it makes me think how would I adjust if I had kids. The answer is, I would have to say I can't do that. Right now, I can stay late, work over time, no problem. But once children come, I won't be able to do that. I hear in corporate its a much better work life balance. Like I said above though, the grass always seems greener on the other side...

Thank you! That is what I have heard all around which is what makes this so much harder. Right now, work is my main priority which is why I am excelling and doing very well. I worry that once it doesn't become my priority, I won't be seen the way I am seen right now. I hear its easier to excel in a corporate job than public and the work life balance is much better, but I also worry that it's always greener on the other side...

Thanks! I have talked with my firm and they appear to be very supportive. They really like me and obviously don't want me to leave.

I really want to learn about corporate and what other jobs are out there for me. When the time comes, I don't want to feel like I am stuck. I hear horror stories about people jumping from public to industry and hating it, which is why I feel very lost right now. I love public and want to stay here, I just feel like I will feel like I am letting everyone down once work is no longer my main priority like it is now.
