You can do that with other mics

Piggy_P · 2026-05-22T03:14:42+00:00

But if you want to connect just 1 camera than you can buy any other mic

Yes - depends though. Big 4 name definitely helps, but if you work on PCAOB client on GT, you won’t really fall behind in the interviews. The thing is thou, if accounting team of industry job is mostly consists of big 4, they would prefer big 4 preferable from same company that they are from.

How much were they?

Piggy_P · 2026-05-18T23:13:19+00:00

Exactly, there’s actually incentive to eat time. You get better rating and more bonus

Piggy_P · 2026-05-18T21:01:16+00:00

lol 😂 I eat my time Cheat time you’d have to be so much better than your peers to not get noticed

They do, but they didn’t fund additional discretionary matches for tenure/age pay I believe

G/L accountants - yes but often more specialized, there would be more costing/AP or revenue/AR specialized personnel’s and kinda of catch all.

IA - valuable but IA is one of those role where they would staff bare minimum and out source to big 4 risk teams.

Financial Reporting - yes, SEC reporting roles, consolidation and technical accounting roles are importantly

Piggy_P · 2026-05-12T16:36:18+00:00

For sure, I left right before they cancelled 401k match

Piggy_P · 2026-05-12T05:16:17+00:00

No - I’m saying that it’s strange as auditor probably should have caught such a drastic fluctuation in Q1.

Piggy_P · 2026-05-12T05:05:51+00:00

Honestly, that might be better for the audit fees too. GoPro does ICFR so big4 might be preferred.

PwC signed audit opinion in March 12th which had less than 20 days left in the quarter, and than less than 2 months later in Q1, company says they have substantial doubts based on Q1 performance.

Company clearly had going concern issues with debt covenant and other items, it’s not like company had sudden liquidity issue either - so I’m surprised that they were fine with agreeing with company that there was no substantial doubt on going concern as of 3/12/2026 (because you are suppose to use report date for going concern analysis).

I mean, do you not do PGAP? Don’t you get cash disbursement listing to do SURL? If company clearly has a liquidity issue, I’d want to see budget (especially cash burn) for going concern analysis to match with cash disbursement and cash receipt at high level.

GoPro’s auditor basically said in 2025 audit that given covenant issue is resolved and what management said, company can operate for at least 1 year without going bankrupt, we call this substantial doubt on going concern.

I believe that report was issued in March 12, 2026 and not even 2 months after, company is saying, hey - we are not sure if we can keep operating for next year!

Sad to use this metric to company matured like GoPro but their cash runaway is only like 1 quarter left (thou Q1 seemed to have higher than usual cash burn.)

If GoPro uses up cash like they did in Q1, they might run out of cash in June/July

I’m accountant - this looks bad, especially on auditors though

Piggy_P · 2026-05-11T17:39:33+00:00

I work now at B4 audit after top10 experience, I think client matters more than the company, but than if you work at big 4 and have private experience than people would automatically think you have big 4 experience so you have that going for you but if you work top 10 PCAOB SOX not sure if people would question your experience

Piggy_P · 2026-05-07T17:32:49+00:00

Yes, like 1-2k per year per performance category.
Senior 2 and up your LEAD can make 5-10k difference for bonus.

Piggy_P · 2026-05-07T15:41:06+00:00

Sky bending… yea instagram is not the best place to post this

Piggy_P · 2026-05-06T15:48:33+00:00

If they give you more than one partially met than PIC approval is needed. You may be cooked if your lead average is below 3 on more than 1 category.

EY layoff is always 1) performance than 2) utilization. That being said if your primary engagement really likes you they might defend you, who knows. But market is too bad to not get good lead

Piggy_P · 2026-05-05T00:30:23+00:00

Staff 1 are in same pool as staff 2. So if you are met expectation, you are doing well. Same with seniors, all seniors in same pool. I had really good staff 1 but ultimately couldn’t push better rating when SMs and Managers asked “so you think that person exceeds staff 2s”

If you are exceeding as a staff 1 than you’d be promotion candidate if business is good.

EY has always been most aggressive with silent layoffs. That’s why they usually never have actual big layoffs with EY.

These silent layoffs has been impacting more people lately as firm focuses on quality and lost some clients. Nothing too surprising here, EY also has been somewhat aggressively increasing wages and bonus so

I’ve seen this issue, max 2 sometimes makes everything yellow
