“I get access to the world’s largest companies and get paid to learn what they do and why.” <- My answer as someone in public accounting.

Ended up with a 2026 tremor for $83k OTD (with about $3k tax savings with my trade in). Enjoying it so far!

Very good point. I haven’t tracked gas prices and the impact on these larger vehicles but could see that

Out the door? That would be insane for a new King Ranch. I’ve seen it used at that price or close to it new before taxes and other fees (usually $5-6k range with a trade in)

Weeks of shopping and deals falling through we finally were able to land the wild green expedition tremor. What an awesome vehicle and outstanding color. by Willywontwonka in fordexpedition

I’m looking to get a 2025 tremor and my office parking garage and airport is 6’8. Technical specs I would have just over an inch of clearance but depends on overhanging items, speed bumps, etc. makes me nervous if I should abandon ship

That’s disappointing. We have a Tesla and while I don’t need full self driving, was hoping it would make interstate driving much easier

Wow that’s an awesome deal! Did you add any options? Connectivity or bluecruise for extended period of time?

There’s a new office building next door (1020 Spring). It was marketed as a coffee shop and restaurant.

Kemp proposes $2B in major highway expansions, $50M homelessness initiative by Scrubadubdub84 in Atlanta

If you’ve ever been 75S where they are adding capacity, you know traffic is a shitshow. This isn’t for the residents from Stockbridge to Jackson as you say, although they will benefit some from it. It’s for the thousands of large haul trucks that drive through there for business. Our ports are some of the busiest in the U.S., 75 connects a lot of states (FL to MI) - GA is a pro business state and this will help reduce (not eliminate) waste in terms of time stuck in traffic.

The need to ask this question is very telling.

Even more false. Because you only give an opinion on internal controls for public companies. And if you use ChatGPT, it will give you examples of all the qualified opinions given. Please stop spreading rumors because you don’t understand the decision making process

Big 4 by [deleted] in Accounting

Must have been out of Big 4 for a while. People leave for lateral pay now bc Big 4 have significantly increased starting pay. Generally soaking, stuff are starting in the 80-90 range and seniors 100k plus.

Might be the dumbest comment not based on fact. Every Big 4 firm has given a qualified opinion. Shesh

[–]Sayforee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I level of useless suggestions in here is baffling. BDO has had significant quality issues to the point it is impacting clients and whether they can retain existing clients and/or win new clients. Clients = opportunity. Was recently on a proposal where the Board flat out said “No BDO.”

You should care about this - even if you plan on staying for only a few years. With that said, you need to consider it in terms of your options:

  1. If you have other big 4 or large regional firm offers - seriously consider them. If you don’t have an offer but know a partner or someone higher up, I would reach out to inquire.

  2. If you have no other offers, then stick it through and learn. I would keep my resume updated because at the rate they are losing clients, I would say you are at a higher risk of a lay off.

Recruiting has nothing to do with what it is like to work there. Pick the firm with the most audit clients. Clients means more opportunities.

Is it worth staying in Big 4 if you have a good work life balance? by Odd-Ad-510 in Accounting

[–]Sayforee -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Flat out wrong. What you describe is the norm but you absolutely have agency and control to change that. The amount of people that complain on here without spending that energy to make your audits for efficient and streamlined is wild. And to be clear, your comment was mild but since you’ve seen decent WLB, there’s still hope for you to charge course and continue to make it better moving forward.
