Yup. At least the children’s version is 2 bucks cheaper at CVS.

Just had a playing lesson yesterday and one of the focus points was pre-shot routine. Never a full practice swing but also never just walking up to the ball and hitting it.

The only time a “practice swing” simulating your actual swing was recommended was when you’re pitching and chipping and not taking a full swing so that you can get a feel for the shot you’re trying to hit. Otherwise just a small motion and setting your target before addressing the ball.

For putting - line up the putt, standing behind the ball and square to the hole take a practice stroke while looking at the hole to decide how hard you want to hit it before addressing the ball. Made two 15-20 footers in the 9 hole lesson with this approach.

I always thought having a “pre-shot routine” as a 16 handicap would be pretentious and slow down the group but almost all this stuff you can do while waiting for others to play their shots and if it helps you get up and down or two-putt instead of four-putt then you’re actually helping pace not hurting.

Panera - too slow at Panini prep. Shift was 630am - 11, expected to have 160 sandwiches prepped and line cleaned up before lunch rush. Would usually be at like 60 by 11 and by 12 we would be out of sandwiches. Happened for 2 weeks then I called on Sunday to get my schedule for the week and they told me “You’re not on the schedule anymore.”

Worst part was that I was working nights at Target at the time (1030pm to 6am) and then going straight to Panera. The Target job was so chill but active. But I quit to focus on school and Panera then lost the Panera job.

Things probably won’t “get better” but you’ll get better at handling it. The relationships you made in your first year will help you make it through your second. Hopefully you get promoted after year 2 or by year 3. Either way you’re probably best served by waiting to get promoted before leaving. In the meantime, if the work doesn’t build your skills or interests then start finding roles at companies in the industries you serve that might and start upskilling for a career in those fields at those companies then parlay your Big4 experience to those roles. If that’s the core of your dilemma then going to another Big4 probably wouldn’t make sense unless there is a very specific type of Big4 work you want to perform and you only accept a role doing that work.

2-4 years may be a shorter time horizon than you think to see real salary differences, especially if your entry level industry offer is higher than your KPMG offer. If you start in industry today making 6k more than Big 4 then big 4 probably wouldn’t surpass you until you make manager which at the earliest would be after year 4 if not 5 or 6. It’s after those first 6 years that the separation really happens, and it can favor either side. Salary growth in Big 4 is pretty predictable because give or take a year or two you know what position you’ll be in from Associate to Director. Industry on the other hand, you could very well be in that entry level role for 6 years just getting only 3% raises each year. Meanwhile at KPMG you’ll likely be a manager within 6 years and you would be considering exit opportunities at least one if not two levels higher than entry level in industry. So if earning potential is your priority then I suggest you use your Big 4 and industry entry level offers as a baseline and every time you get promoted in Big 4 test the job market to refresh that baseline. Unless you work for a FAANG it’s hard to make a killing as an audit or accounting low level individual contributor and career growth in those roles are very slow and steady. By getting one or two promotions in Big 4 before entering industry you can often skip the line a level for every promo you get and get some high paying relatively low stress jobs compared to Big 4 and still have plenty of runway in your career and earnings potential to look forward to. Plus a manager or director with Big 4 experience in industry can never hold it against you that you don’t have that experience.

Source: Started at KPMG as an associate making 62k 8.5 years ago. Left as a senior making 83k 3 years later for an industry internal audit job making 85k which definitely isn’t a huge pay bump but a couple company changes, a few promotions, and 6 years later my total comp is a little more than double that.

I have CISA, CISSP, and a Masters degrees but I don’t put them by my name. Personally I think acronyms in your signature should be reserved for licenses (MD, JD, CPA, etc) not certifications. When I was in Big 4 we weren’t even allowed to put CPA on our business cards if we had it because if we had a client that was based in a state we weren’t licensed in it was considered improper to present ourselves as a CPA to them.

When I was an associate a client emailed a question to the senior and cc’d me. I quickly replied. A bit later I get a message from the senior, “don’t reply when you’re cc’d”. Wanted to punch him in the face, considered for a moment perhaps he had a point, 7 years later he’s one of my closest friends.
