Anyone from Grant Thornton able to give me a referral?
When a coworker sends you a hello or a hey on Slack, do you respond with another polite greeting or do you wait for them to send more information, letting you know what they want?
Everybody talks about “busy season.” How many hours are you spending at work each day during busy season. Which months are busy season? My work day has always fluctuated from 8 hours to 10 hours max each day. Been Lucky I guess, at least for past 5 years, it’s usually 8 hours per day.
Do you guys send your kids to daycare with their cellphones? My kids are starting their summer daycare program next week but the center doesn't want kids to bring tablets or cellphones. I feel like I want my kids to be able to call me if they need me. So, I'm thinking of putting their phones in their bags, on silent anyway. I'm paying a fortune to this center, I should get some say here.
Who in the hell thought open floor office plans were a good idea? We were pulled from our WFH setups to work in an open floor plan. There is no privacy and I can hear everyone's conversations. It's so hard to focus. Not to mention the smells. Everyone's perfumes, colognes, and lunches merge together and the air is so toxic. How is this setup supposed to improve our productivity?
being in public accounting feels like being in an abusive relationship
Avoid GT at all costs
I’m ex GT. I would not go back there.

Not sure why everyone is shitting on GT. The transformation group is awesome and I truly enjoy working with everyone intern to partner. Currently a manager and I still get lots of diverse experience and opportunity to lead.
Would you mind if I dm you to learn more about the transformation group in GT?
I’m current GT telling you to listen to CR1
RSM reduced its referral to from 7.5k to 5k for seniors. I think we are weathering the staffing shortage a little better than most firms. If anything we have more seniors now than last two years. For northeast at least. So let me know if you want to work for teams that are actually staffed 🫠
I’m ex GT as well and agree with the above
I love gt and would be happy to refer
GT culture is toxic. Management pretends they care about employees but it’s all a show. The firm has bad politics, you work crazy hours (even during summers due to benefit plans), people tend to have big egos, and the firm is stingy. They will try to get you to drink their koolaid through a firehose.
Literally lol
Why go to GT when I’m here for you?
Already know you’re talking nonsense because we have a service delivery center in India for almost 2 years now.
Like all big companies, you will interact with some you like and some you don’t. I think you’ve heard from 2 people that had bad experiences here and some that haven’t. However , there are 8k people at the firm. My advice has been the same for the past decade, meet at many people as possible that you will work with and decide for yourself which people you want to work with everyday. You are in a unique position to choose where you want to go given the current staffing at ALL firms. Be happy to talk to you about my experience at GT and provide referral.
Why not Big 4? GT has all the cons of Big 4 without any of the benefits
I’d say so. Congrats
I know we're supposed to "captain our career" but my experience here is that leaders don't do much to develop talent. Maybe all the firms are this way but ive found the coaching, coachee experience to be pretty underwhelming. Its sink or swim w/ a lack of true mentorship
What about EY? DM me for EY referral
At gt… agree w everybody. Need to leave
