This year, I’m being inducted as a UK Chartered Accountant 🇬🇧
A thread on consistency, growth, and staying the course 🧵👇🏾
This was probably the highlight of my KPMG days 🥹 ♥️
Everyone had the same 1k daily lunch allowance - from analysts to partners.
In 2017, 1k was enough for you to eat and pack takeaway. Good old days😃
Some of you are one unexpected phone call away from changing your entire life.
May that call locate you. 🙏🏽❤️
When you don't know the answer in an interview? Don't guess or pretend.
Say: "I haven't done that before, but here's how I'll approach it."
Then explain your thinking step by step. Even if you don't have the answer, you show that you are honest and can solve problems.
You see how I intentionally left out audit and tax?
Very cutesy, very demure 😂😂
