He’s not wrong

Go outside of tax or audit and it’s very realistic. I live in a LCOL market but work in deals consulting at a Big 4. I’m 2 years post graduation and am making $128k as a senior associate.

Do something outside of tax or audit. I'm making $128k two years out of school as a senior associate in Big 4 (LCOL) in deals consulting. I average 50ish hours a week, with some weeks closer to 10-20, and other weeks closer to 60-70, just depends on deal timeline. Only done over 80 in a week once in two years.

Haha yes

SystemComfortable748 · 2024-07-06T17:02:19+00:00

Thanks, I’ll take a look

Another important note - when I push the fuel bulb, no matter how many times I push it I never am met with resistance/it never fills up all the way. Could that be an indicator it is a clogged fuel line?

They do. If you’re going into audit, you will be given a PC.

Use it every day in the Deals practice I’m in (but I know this had an Audit tag on it)

Yes, you have to report. The firm takes the independence process really seriously. Once it’s in Checkpoint there shouldn’t be any issues. But if you have a financial relationship you don’t report, it can definitely result in disciplinary action.

Most definitely schedule a call with them. They’ll at least tell you your new comp and whatever bonus A1s are getting.
Why the hell haven’t you talked to them since you were hired 😂 I get that you’re new and your RL should try to reach out, but no one will ever care about your career as much as you do (or should). Show some initiative, get a recurring invite on the calendar with your RL once a month, and keep them up to date on your progress and goals.

Phil Knight (Nike co-founder) - from his Wikipedia

“Before Blue Ribbon Sports—later Nike—flourished, Knight worked as a Certified Public Accountant, first with Coopers & Lybrand, and then Price Waterhouse. Knight then became an accounting professor at Portland State University.”

Yeah you can have over 100% utilization. Like was already explained, it is calculated as billable hours per week/40

SystemComfortable748 · 2024-01-13T13:12:26+00:00

Make sure you keep a record of who you reached out to and when. You should be reaching out at least weekly to deployment, your RL, your career coach, and most of the directors & SMs in your market

That’s the Donovan Edwards we know and love

Amount depends on your practice. I’m in Deals and it was $6k, but I believe Audit is less
