the candidates need to speak up, but the bosses need to also create an environment where they feel comfortable doing that.

I think they, they are very afraid of, um, not appearing perfect, of not appearing like they've got it all together, you know, they're crushing it.

Um, the impostor syndrome is a term that's getting thrown around a lot, especially with, you know, with their first job.

And also just like thinking to like in the grand scheme of your career- Um, two to three more years, like, isn't that, like, isn't that much time, um, to stay a little bit longer? And I also, I mean, I, I enjoyed, I enjoyed the work.
18:28
Like, I was working in, um, corporate tax, um, for PwC, just kind of like the, like a lot of like, typically what, if you think of tax client service in a public accounting firm, like tax compliance, tax provision, that type of thing, um, busy seasons.

How were you able to market the skills you developed as a tax professional to fit those roles and be able to work there? And, um, maybe include too, you know, were you able to build any relationships at PwC that helped you land those roles as well?
