Thanks for your reply! Ive personally never was interested in working for Big4 or other prestigious accounting firms. But there was this position open that required an engineering degree and experience, and I got this job. Do you think its worth it to work at Big4 accounting firms with all the stress? I'm a bit scared about leaving my current job because I'm afraid of losing my manager, who is super supportive and a great manager. BUT, thats about it. Thats the only thing I like about this job at the manufacturing company. I don't like everything else. But I think having a great manager is a very important thing.albertaguy wrote: ↑ This is no different than people working in Taxation or financial planning. Typical job responsibility include costing and record keeping for SR&ED technical claim. There are two components one is targeted toward financials the other is technical. Typically if you are accountant then you focus on the financial part and if you are engineer then focus on technical aspect. Stress is no different than any other positions in big 4.
Just to shed some light on the traveling lifestyle aspect.sw6lee wrote: ↑ Thanks for your reply! Ive personally never was interested in working for Big4 or other prestigious accounting firms.

I'm just a little nervous about constant travelling as a consultant. I don't travel much and I personally don't meet many new people every day as I'm not very out going. But, I'm wondering if I can change. If I start this job and continue for a couple months, would I get used to it? I'm guessing so but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyones advice is welcome.
Also maybe someone whos a consultant had a similar experience as me? Hope to hear their experiences too.
