No lo, my mgr get bad review and i get good.
Now i mgr they still stuck at mgr with bad review. Not in b4 means good, u are clearly living in your own world. Oh btw im out of audit and have better opportunity.

Some ppl 11 yoe partner.. some more than 15yoe still sm..

Outside, there is still a perception that Big 4 is a tier above diploma AP>AR>Full set grinders for accounting roles. Before the job market faced this downturn, exit opps for auditors is still pretty good because the assumption is that you can think to find solutions because no one has the time to spoonfeed you, caveat being your English has to be evidently good. It's just that we have too many applicants these days so auditors just don't stand a chance. (e.g. ex Finance regional lead applying for Finance manager, senior FP&A from competitors applying to join us at the same rank, laid off senior FP&A being willing to accept junior FP&A role). Everyone is talking about how bad the tech job market supposedly but no one talks about accounting...

A few of us resigned because of being sandwiched lol

Interns cannot respond to you outside hours but they say no associates to give

Got associate also their manager will come and scold you if you ask them to follow up on their sections (this must be why those previous commenters say they slack during their booking, dont complete during booking period means no need to do anymore)

Yet when we are booked on another job already still have to work full time on previous job

I only regret not tendering earlier because 2 of my signing date got pushed forward so I have 6 signings this week but my last day is still so far away

Offshoring wont save us because they will say engagement too small to use offshore resources, sorry for not having 300 samples per section

I wish we had paid garden leave or retrenchment package like they do in the US

when is accounts closing? why you accunting team always say busy with closing between 20th to 10th of the month? closing so long? accuntant quality so poor? audit so proud to exit to this kind of embarrassment?

1 month only? That's like AWS without performance bonus.
