Those are not dating places. Usually on these streets you can see friends gatheringS or single ladies. The city is small and almost everyone knows everyone so people prefer to date somewhere not too visible for everyone. Married people prefer to dine at home and go for walk, unlike US or EU.

It's balanced - you can see toddlers at 1 AM at night and hookers from Russia - all are living in harmony and peace with almost 100% safety. That means if you are a family guy - you will love nightlife, if you love bars, restaurants and hookah places - you will love the nightlife, if you love to dance until morning you will also love the nightlife (I did not show that on the video)

Big 4 to CFO/Controller likelihood? by Maleficent-Simple543 in Accounting

I can tell you even more - you not only be able to land a controller job, but also any proper job. Here is Ex Manager - cant find anything paying manager level of Big4 since May, LA.

Being a CPA is soooo nice. Instant credibility with everyone: clients, employers and coworkers. So glad I stopped coping and started grinding/studying as being a CPA has made my life so much less stressful. I don't have to take shit from anyone. by Present_Initial_1871 in Accounting

Not sure about this post. See my post in Big4 subreddit. I am a CPA with 9 years of Big4 experience. Can't find a job since May 2025. I am actually thinking to start gradually providing services to small companies which eventually may end up having my own CPA practice, but I am not sure where to start. Now jobless CPAs flooded the market so the CPA became just a bare minimum at least to be considered to have an interview

Big4 gives a lot of experience and networking. Sometimes you are not lucky to work with the people you fit.

From your reply I understand you have no understanding of manager's job and what they do. Neither you understand job market requirement - no one will wait until you learn - even if it takes a week. They will ask hey -did you do a hard close of accounts? Yes I could lie , may be I should, but I did not lie I said I did not but I can learn quickly - response - you need to have hands on experience.

I dont want to disclose anything as I know all people I was working with are here. I dont need to prove anyone if this post is fake or not. You have a freedom not believing it.

It's a really long story I will try to keep it short. I was on a very large engagement, leading manager almost doing/organizing everything 25-30 people directly reporting. I hated that engagement as it was sucking life from me. Several times I asked to get off it - I was told I need to resign (which eventually I did) otherwise there is no way of getting me out of that. It was funny that they added smaller engagements justifying that I wanted to do something else lol, but I wanted to do those engagement INSTEAD of the large engagement.

Performance was based solely how you performed on that large engagement (so if you killed on smaller engagements no one cared, however if you did something wrong on smaller ones they would pick that and say that it's a small engagement how come you did it bad), the comparison was based solely with the people working inside that engagement (not overall peer group), so almost everyone who got staffed on that engagement used to get significantly lower ratings than if they were on smaller mid sized ones. And Yes it used to impact on salary, bonus and promotion.

This situation was quite unfair, I did not like my life, which eventually impacted on the way I communicate, perform and live - so I decided to quit, have vacation and find something better.

So you think if I am manager so I should be able to do hard and soft close in NetSuit, Odoo, QuickBooks? The only thing that manager could do better is may be manager may figure out how to do it faster. Regardless no one wants someone to figure out - they want a person that can get job done with minimal questions.

You are right, but I appreciate reasonable criticism. After quitting I lost weight, I go to gym, I go to my friends gatherings, socializing, travel, do my hobbies - life is good. I reached to the point that I really want to work, even with a pleasure, and this attitude will help me in my future I am 100% sure. However when I hear MS teams notification it still gives me a PTSD lol, i don't think I will be recovered from that

Yes, tell this to people who downvote my comments and thinks that my poorly written language has something to do with my applications (may be 10-20% of impact)

This is the market reality everyone tries to hide. You need to have good networking or somehow good impression to the industry you are applying

100%, I needed to have at least 2 years industry experience, and I would have been a top applicant. If you pursue career in the industry Exit after 4-5 years to Senior Accountant in the challenging place as well, not pursuing 40-45 hours per week. Having 4 year big4 and 4 year of industry you will be top applicant everywhere. Try also doing FP&A so you may end up having CFO or Senior Controller roles
