"I believe this is valuable for those in public accounting. If my experience is typical, as a former rising star, the partners in firms are surprised when their talented folks leave. In smaller firms, where the partner ranks seem "full", it is hard for one to see where one is headed other than perpetual "manager". As a result , many if us leave for industry. I have no regrets as both firms I worked in were acquired, which would have jeopardized my chances for a partnership. Further, I believe that both partners and riding stars need to be mindful of the possibilities of acquisition in terms of future career paths for young talent."Thomas, AL
"Excellent material for those responsible for bringing along up and coming talent. The course effectively outlines the relevant issues which should be addressed. I was traveling by car and unable to respond to the prompts. However, I gained valuable information and have plans to follow up on several ideas presented. If there is any way to "prove" my attendance despite not being able to respond to the prompts while driving, I would appreciate it."Floyd, CA
