Today I'm chatting with y'all about my thought process when evaluating whether I should stay at my current job or if I should start looking for other options.
I did want to clarify - not getting a promotion should not be the only factor when deciding to be at a job. If you received feedback on concrete reasons you didn't get the promotion and know what you need to work on, at least you still have career advancement opportunities in the future. However in my case, there were no concrete reasons other than politics. So if you still have a supportive future somewhere, that should have weight in your decision :)
What are the important factors you look for in a job? What do you think about when deciding to quit your job?

Can you make a video on what to expect when your fresh out of college and going into your first accounting job? And talk about things like: hours, salary, what your expected to do/know , if you receive a company car, etc.
Yes will do - great idea! 🖤
I’m currently a first year tax associate at a big4 and now that busy season begun I already want out but you made a good point not to make a decision based off of temporary emotions. I hope it gets better :(
I definitely understand how you feel!! The first year was one of the hardest for me too. It'll get better, hang in there!
Also, something I’ve heard from people who come to me with similar questions is that they want to leave a situation, but they feel a sense of loyalty to a company that will surely replace them ASAP if they shift from an asset to a liability. I agree with weighing the pros and cons of a choice rather than making a rash decision based solely on emotion. Great advice as usual.
Thank you doll! 100% agree with you
Great video and advice! Make a list and use it as a guide. When you start to get negative go back and self check. The high school drama, the career progression all come together and lead you to make a decision. YOU make the call...thanks for sharing with your peers.
Great Video! Your videos are so helpful for accounting students like myself.
Lol your inhale and exhale dog pillow is so cute and funny
I love your videos so much!!! You are so amazing and inspirational!!
Thank you love 🖤 I appreciate it!
You are God sent ! Thank you for this valuable video
Very well said Steph!
Thank you love!
I would really appreciate it if you could make a video about dealing with work pressure as an new joiner (fresh graduate) at an audit firm. I'm 7 months into being an associate and it's turning out to be more difficult than I thought it would be to adapt and get used to the work. Love your videos btw!💕💕 keep them coming😄
Thank you I appreciate it! I definitely will, just keep your head up. It gets better I promise. Took me a year to finally feel like I understood what was going on.
Can u make a video about your current internal audior job, what is it like in comparison to working in the big 4?
Yes will do!
This was great. Thx
I worked in public accounting for seven years and have been trying to get out the last four. Even if you like doing accounting work and/or have a real knack for it, you're not doing yourself any favors by sticking around. You're expected to move up to the management level if you want to keep your job AND make a decent salary, and when you do move to that level you do far less actual accounting work and have more BS responsibilities like selling work to potential clients or making sure everyone who reports to you is charging time to the client while at the same time staying within budget, and this is especially a problem since companies don't hire the best candidates for the job and you get a lot of people who call in sick a lot or like to slack off. Don't even get me started on Independence regulations.
Exactly. Politics dominate management positions that pay the most. The good ole boys. If your not in, you won't ever be...
Can you make a video on how to negotiate salary?
Yes will do!
Stephie // stephienese I wanted to add, can you talk about the difference, salary, between the big four and middle tier accounting firms. Salary, PTO, and bonus.
Ez. Just ask for more when they present you with your offer letter. It's worked for me just fine.
KaptainKarhen 40k a year...working 80+ hours... Take or leave it. Your just a number. Hamster running the wheel...lol
Josh I countered and they accepted. Salary + PTO.. :)
thank you. its crap when you're a new person
Extra love for wearing my Redsox hat.
Currently feel not so great in staff accountant position. Pay is average, no benefits, however I am learning a lot since this is my first job out of school. My boss has horrible communication skills and it can be difficult to learn from him. How can someone learn if you go in and ask a question and they practically yell at you and have little patience? One more busy season and I may start looking for other opportunities.
I'm so sorry you're going through that.... At least you're learning the kind of supervisor you don't wanna be! Keep your head up and I hope you can work on other engagements to get a better mentor experience!
What was like as an accountant?
That pillow behind you is too cute💕
Here thank you
Did you graduate from high school in 2006?
Can you make more videos on business wear for women in public accounting?
Yes! I keep meaning to.... working on an update essential business casual video now!
Good video
Can you please give me your thoughts on the CMA, Certified Management Accountant certification? Do you know anyone that has it? I will be sitting for part two in the 2019 testing window.
I know only a handful of people who have the designation. I think it's useful if you plan to be in industry (private accounting).
I wanna leave Big 4, not because of the job nature, because of the team........ I hate my team. I have been recurring in this engagement for 2 years....
I know it shouldn't be a reason to think about leaving a job. .but, I dunno.. I am really stressed out these days, hate Big4 culture. Just hate this job. Just hate.. hate hate hate.
If you like the job but not the team, maybe you can look into getting on to a new team if you haven’t already. If you can sit through the hours i’d say to stay until senior. Senior will give you the most exit opportunities.
Haha!
