Are there greater privileged you get as you climb up the ladder? Or greater meaning you derive from your job?

I get this feeling of support where everything just go whoosh and down and away from the throat when I squat.

Not the static position but on the downward or upwRd movement of the squat. when I vocalize on it my higher notes are much louder without pushing. Feels like sitting on a yoga ball.

I can only really get 60% of the feeling when standing on a static position. Im not sure if I’m chasing something that is even possible.

In the modern world we have wfh but even just 5 years ago, how tf do you even have time to pack their lunch, pick them up, take care of them while working. Leaving no time for yourself and your hobbies?

I do government audits, I guess similar to big 4 enterprise. Its incredibly mundane and hours are very short, maybe work 30-35 hours. I would like to be pushed more onto much more interesting clients and work. I want to work the long hours, be inside office with my peers bonding, work in large F500s seeing all the ins and outs of how a business functions.

I seriously dislike studying, never learned how to learn properly and honestly nothing sticks in my head whenever there is a lecture or I read. A part of me realizes I am not that smart but I still see people study hours and hours even while sharing the same capabilities. For me it’s the psychological toll of not getting something, being stuck there and I guess failing. Just the grind of being in a constant state of displeasure and boredom just makes my skin crawl. Some people get low grades yet still pound out the many study hours without allowing it to affect them on an emotional level. I don’t get how….

I sing with some tension and my tension says it’s good but for me I’m pushing a lot. I’ve had couple teachers and they all seem to have difficulty detecting it wondering if it’s just the nature of singing.

Any advice on this? Need it to run well and sometimes it runs super smoothly and othertimes not so much.

Do you have a practice facility booked? Where can you go to freely practice?

My neighbours are kinda getting pissed, cause I live in a very quiet neighbourhood.

I am not talking about management skills, people skills or soft skills. I am talking about actual accounting knowledge. The type of material you would be tested on a FAR exam for example. Does that stuff help you separate?

I am from a 10 man audit firm and mainly do non profits. I know hours are about 2x but is it far more complex work? Standards much higher? More micromanaging I assume.

I watched all lectures and now I have 25 days left. I have done multiple choice but very little. So conceptually I think I am good but multiple choice is working really well know with this method but the TBS are so brutal. One took about 1 hour to really understand. Do you do every single one?

is this a good idea? I saw on LinkedIn major cities have 100 applicants and small cities have like 5 lol.

I assume clients are much smaller wondering if there is even a real benefit.

I am learning to mix my voice ( male baritone ). My teacher tells me to send the sound back and up but not back and down. I feel my tongue tugging down a bit which is why I think I am dealing with tension. Is this a nromal aspect of learning head voice?

I can study at work but at home I check my phone every 3 minutes. it does r gave to be phone it will be food next. I’m like a primate looking for next distraction.

I can say it in a fast phrase but cannot hold, like the initial onset feels thick but then feels very thin as it passes 0.5 second . Like a very thin cords.

I’m trying to learn Caro mio Ben, and find the c4 kinda hard. I Can hit it but it sounds quite poor and more likely I’m pushing the sound out. I feel a distinct shift at A3 and C4 is really builds up. My teacher says it’s fine for now And be more in tune with body. However he says it’s hot high enough to deliberately mix or modify vowels.

The mcq at the end of each chapter I’m talking about. Is getting 70 enough?

I think I score maybe 50 on TBS although it’s hard to know because I’ve seen all of them once so I’m estimating if I had to look at one without ever seeing one.

partners are in their 40s wondering do they view someone in their mid twenties as a kid?

like I am 26 and although a 18 years is an adult man I would view them as a kid.

i just wonder how people view each other.

started even when I was young wanting me to go to an ivey league and become a doctor. whatever I did she wanted me excel at and was quite delusional.

As an adult I get humbled that each skill takes tremendous effort, mentorship and time. I don“t understand how any grown adult that did anything remotely competitive would think excellence is instant.

I wonder what ended up making them that way under a very patriachal system where woman are expected to be homemakers. Like who are you even trying to impress the church moms?

maybe the title is completely off but here it goes…..

I feel like I have managers and a partners who are sort of holding back. Not that they are necessarily nice but they keep distance from me.

He doesn’t encourage me in any way but also never criticized me. Just sort of in the distance even though he is quite social with everyone else. I’m a pretty quiet guy so maybe he is a more shy type and avoiding confrontation from me.

Manager also doesn’t say anything. Again, nothing ever good but also nothing negative. Never dishes me more responsibility either.

Ive been in audit for 2 years now and for the last year I’ve been doing the exact same admin like tasks. It’s quite strange. All my other friends in other firms talk about super demanding manager and how they are being worked like a dog.

To be honest my work can be done in about 20 hours a week, this is public audit.

The only “hint” I’ve gotten form partner is that there has been no turnover so can’t give me anything but sounds a bit off. Other associates aren’t really doing anything either but hard to know cause couple that started with me got fired or quit.
