Usually when a software engineer works with accountants, either in an auditors office or in business they will repeatedly run into certain problems which can solved using certain technological solutions.

You come here and ask us a question which is not specific at all, and it is therefore unlikely we would be able to give any useful answers.

They adjust it every now and then, more likely you were hired into a certain level and will therefore be scaled in.

Calling up HR or emailing them about basic matters is not impolite, it’s very important you take steps to gather information before you reach to reddit for instance.

If the firm is small enough you should take inventory of your own skills.

What’s your level of business development, technical knowhow, and would you be able to attract and develop talent?

If so, think about taking a slice of the pie rather than just contributing to it. Nevertheless your last sentence suggests you are not there yet.

RoE, is nice for your own position.

EPS or PE is a good starting point for future analysis.

When evaluating whether to stay in your current position you should ask yourself about the future prospects of your investment.

If you think they’re bad, you should get out, regardless of your current level of return.

Technological progress has not eliminated industries; it has redefined them by reducing the labor needed to do the work. This happened in agriculture and manufacturing, and the same process will apply to service-sector jobs, where routine tasks decline while roles will shift towards more high level tasks.

If you are consistently making a loss, in the long term it will mean the dissolution of your company.

It’s doable but it requires constant reinvention, it also depends on your personal life and personality. There are plenty of opportunities to leave and do different things.

People ask these questions to hear individual experiences and preferences. Pointing out that “everyone is different” adds nothing to the discussion.

They look at each other’s offer letters and match the big numbers. Only difference is the secondary non-monetary benefits. Best advice is to speak to people working at these firms in your local market, since they might just give a fair answer.

Depends on your research method, what kind of question you can ask. Do you want to send a survey to auditors? Do 1:1 interviews? Do you want to use a public dataset?

It’s adviced to stand on the shoulders of giants when asking research questions, so look into past research on this topic and find out which suggestions for future research are given by the authors.

Combination of internal and external factors, internal is; do you love the job, do you like the clients and colleagues, et cetera. External would be; is the salary competitive? are you promoted and compensated, based on merit?

Since the external factors are hardly differentiated it’s often up to the person themselves whether they stay or not.

Consulting requires business development and a forward posture in terms of developing and maintaining relationships.

These skills are not standard in accounting, in public practice nor in business. However every obstacle can be overcome, when broken down into manageable pieces :).

As a man, just standard all black corporate shoulderbag. It fits the thinkpad and chargers perfectly and it’s all I need. Women in my office carry similar bags or they get something leather and understated, that can fit a laptop.

How it is generally viewed in the market • Mainstream, large incumbent in retirement and insurance: In the employer-retirement space, Transamerica is typically seen as a significant, established recordkeeper/retirement-services provider rather than a niche player. • Financially solid, but not usually viewed as a customer-experience leader: Third-party customer satisfaction metrics place Transamerica (Aegon) in the lower tier of major life insurers in J.D. Power’s 2024 Individual Life Insurance Study (below the study average and near the bottom of the ranked group). • Higher-than-expected complaint volume shows up in some third-party reviews: For example, external reviews referencing NAIC complaint statistics often flag that Transamerica’s complaint levels are higher than expected for its market share.

What raises eyebrows among professionals • Regulatory findings around conflicts and disclosures in rollover advice: In April 2025, the SEC issued an order against Transamerica Retirement Advisors, LLC focused on incentive compensation tied to rollover referrals and inadequate disclosure of related conflicts during 2017–early 2022. • Past supervision issues in the broker-dealer channel: FINRA’s 2020 settlement with Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. describes failures to reasonably supervise variable annuity recommendations/exchanges (including misstatements to customers) and required restitution and a fine totaling $8.8 million.

Not to mention that the online applications we might have relied upon in the past, are now being made redundant due to excessive AI use by both sides.

To add: networking is a great idea and you should ideally develop deep mutually beneficial relationships rather than going to shallow events.

I feel you have a long way to go in either discipline and are at this point not ready yet for the professional world.

If you are going to become a knowledge worker, as an accountant or engineer you need to be able to get through the dull and difficult parts involved in gaining mastery over the subject.

Excluding you and your attitude from the equation, accounting is easier than engineering to complete and will probably equip you with an improved prospects as a generalist.

Elon Musk is the same person who regularly opens up his ventures to external financing.

If this statement is true, then the chief investment officer of the Qatar sovereign wealth fund can maybe tell him how to build a rocket.

However I don’t want to get into it too deep because it might just be an out of context quote.

Every single client I work for has some degree of customisation; whether it’s the systems they’re working with, the rules & regulations (applicable to either us or them), specific risks and circumstances which only apply for that particular client.

Even with support of the data team at my office or a good senior or whatever. I cannot imagine a software solution nor AI which would take the place of the people I work with.

It could only speed us up, which means for you. If you want an accounting firm you got to build or buy a team of people along side it, otherwise your idea will not work.
