QUOTE(Itu_Dia_Man @ May 16 2010, 10:30 PM) Well, I know some who stayed as AA2 for nearly two years before getting promoted to AA1, so you wonder why they did not get promoted at the first place. The term 'screw up' can be defined in many ways. I'll use a simple example. You propose a figure adjustment to the client because your calculation differs greatly from the client's accounts. You insist on the client taking up the adjustment and eventually they do. Later on, you found out that the difference in the calculation was actually down to your own casting error. This would mean that the client need to reverse the adjustment out in the next financial year. In short, you screwed up. The following year's team would have to incur the wrath of the client I thought AA2 usually works under a senior-in-charge, or at least an AA1? Don't the senior-in-charge bear the same responsibility or worse, heavier if this was the case?Good luck then Added on May 17, 2010, 2:16 pm QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ May 17 2010, 09:44 AM) Blaming the client is itself, an action.

However, if heads must roll, do you think your seniors would rather lose their head to protect yours? In the end, if that error occurs in the working paper bearing your initial, then you will shoulder most of the blame. Its a dog eat dog world |
