Weekly Word Watch: from ‘haravointi’ to ‘hemimastigotes’
Weekly Word Watch: from ‘haravointi’ to ‘hemimastigotes’ On our latest Weekly Word Watch, we go outside and take a trip to outer space, encountering some Finnish, Turkish, Egyptian, Greek, and Mi’kmaq along the way. Haravointi …at least it taught us some Finnish. Visiting the deadly wildfire that has ravaged Northern California this past week, US President Donald Trump said Finland experiences few fires because ‘they spend a lot of time raking and cleaning’ their forests.
11 words you perhaps didn't know were portmanteaus | OxfordWords blog
For the uninitiated, portmanteaus (or ‘portmanteaux’) are words which combine the sounds and meanings of two words. For example, motel (a combination of motor and hotel) or brunch (a combination of breakfast and lunch). Whilst browsing a list of different portmanteaus and blends, I noticed a number of words that I use fairly regularly, and I had no idea they were formed from two different words. As a result, I thought it would be nice to summarize some of these in a list.
The Accountant's Definitive Guide to LinkedIn
The business savvy social network LinkedIn can actually help you land a better job than the one you call home right now. I’m sure some of you have actually used it to help you find a job, in which case I hope you share your triumphs with the rest of us. We’ve covered the importance of LinkedIn here (and here) (and here) before, but since the site has been enhanced so much in recent memory, it’s worth revisiting.
Those Annoying Recruiter Calls Might Be Slowing Down Next Quarter
In a few weeks, many of you plugging along through busy season will decide to call those incessant recruiters back and test the job market. Last week's report by Robert Half and published in the Journal of Accountancy miiiiight rain on your parade, at least in the short term. Ninety-one percent of CFOs said they don’t expect to change their accounting and finance staffing levels in the second quarter; 4% plan to add staff; and 5% plan to reduce staff.
A Young Accountant's Beard Makes for a Hairy Career Situation
Today's advice column started off with the subject "Accountants with beards." My first thought was "damnnnn that'd make a great Tumblr," one that could rival the creeps at Messages from Match and the political poignancy of Kim Jong-un Looking at Things. WE COULD TAKE OVER THE WORLD. But…then I continued reading. Wait. This is about an otherwise qualified accounting major not getting a job? Well, that just grinds my gears.
Awkward Sexual Advances And Your Drinking Problems - A Holiday Guide from Rothstein Kass
PwC’s Branding Week taught us nothing we didn’t already know. So as you may recall, PwC launched its massive PR campaign two weeks ago, wrapped up in super-PR spin in this clip from ABC news: Even if you sat earnestly with pen in hand, I doubt you had any significant takeaways from the video. “Networking starts with the people you know.” “Students should be aware of what they post online.” “Careers are a marathon, not a spring.” Really?
E&Y and Deloitte Are Here to Remind You That Women Are Grossly Underrepresented in the Old Boys' Club
Oh, and they finally released their global revenue numbers. Deloitte ended the suspense today, issuing their global revenues for fiscal year 2009 and issuing their “annual review”. For the past couple of months, we were speculating about the holdup since they have historically been issued much earlier. Most of the comments at that time were taking the under on the revenues and they were right, as Deloitte came in at $26.1 billion.

You've Been Denied by the Big 4. What Next?
Ed. note: Have a question for the career advice brain trust? Email us at advice@goingconcern.com. Caleb, I’m an avid reader of Going Concern and I was wondering if you could help ease my anxiety on my Superday coming up fairly soon. I’m currently a senior in a master’s program and I am looking for an internship this Winter. I’ve interviewed with all Big 4 and only managed to score a second round with PwC for a Northeast location. I do have a couple back up offers but really want PwC.
Corporate Accountant With a Broken Shift Key Seeks New Career
Ed. note: Do you have a question for the career advice brain trust? Email us at advice@goingconcern.com. Dear Going Concern, I have been in Big 4 FS Tax for the past two years and recently was promoted to Senior. Headhunters have been calling me with great opportunities in the tax departments of Hedge Fund/PE firms. The pay increase is significant and the hours will undoubtedly be better. However, I’m worried about leaving Public Accounting too early in my career.
How to Request Recommendations on LinkedIn Without Giving the Impression That You're Jumping Ship
Ed. note: Got a question for the career advice brain trust? Email us at advice@goingconcern.com. Good afternoon, GCers. No time for small talk. Let’s get to it. Hi Caleb, With regards to LinkedIn, do you have any advice on how to request recommendations from superiors, other coworkers, and clients, without giving the impression to my own superiors that I want out? For some background, I am a Senior 3 in EY’s TAS group and have been here since I graduated college.
A Friendly HR Reminder: The Workplace Is Not a Dating Service
Yes, your calendar is correct. Sir Caleb asked me to post on Whisky Wednesday. Fill up your glass, kick back in your chair, and let’s do this, shall we? An area that I want to address is a topic that is otherwise whispered about or downright ignored by most engagement teams at accounting firms – dating in the workplace. For the purpose of this post, we’re going to let “dating” stand for anything from a one night stand to full fledge monogamous relationships.
Eight Things Accountants Can Do This 4th of July Weekend
Study for the CPA exam: July is a testing month, so study up on whatever exam is hanging over your head. Your firm is giving you time off – stay sober for six of those hours and cram some knowledge. Spend The Man’s money: Are you done with the CPA exam and now have an incentive check for doing so burning a hole in your madras shorts? Cash it in, treat yourself to something nice, and begin the b*tching about fulfilling upcoming CPE requirements.
Ernst & Young’s Raises Will Be Better Than PricewaterhouseCoopers'
I said it on Tuesday and I’ll say it again. HERE. WE. GO. Caleb ran a post yesterday about Ernst & Young raises that as of deadline time had no comments. Zilch. Nadda. I was surprised by this because if anything guarantees comments on GC posts it’s talk about layoffs, Overstock.com shenanigans, and money (not in that order). Needless to say, I think this update will change things.
What Are People Saying About Phil Mickelson’s 1st KPMG Masters Victory?
Phil Mickelson earned his third green jacket and Masters championship this weekend, his first major win since striking a sponsorship with KPMG’s hat department. I took to the online streets of Twitter to see what people were saying about Phil’s win for the KPMG Kamp. I’ll start off with the legal… @seanmg: Everytime I looked at Phil Mickelson today I saw that KPMG hat and all I could think of was illegal tax shelters.
A Wake-up Call for All Gen X Accountants
Judging by the timing of the comments, it looks like many of you were burning the oil on Sunday; sorry to see that. As always, thank you for your discussion. Picking up where I left off with Generation X, my advice is simple: Know your competition – With the job market consisting of 80 million Baby Boomers and 78 million Millennials, the 46 million Generation X’ers out there need to realize the statistical battle that lies ahead.
CFO Article Illustrates Internal Audit Cowardice & CCM Confusion
We haven’t seen outrage like this since FASB bent over and rewrote mark to market! Denver is now considering taking a cue from a Chicago plan that basically pimped out the city’s parking meters for a lump-sum lease payment instead of relying on a constant stream of unknown revenue in quarters. Genius… sort of. More, after the jump Councilman Doug Linkhart would like to solve the city’s $120 million budget shortfall with quarters.
