Bill Schneider, Director of Accounting Policy at AT&T in Dallas, joined us for this week’s episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast.
Moving on up!
One of the more rare aspects of this interview versus others is that we typically talk about the guest’s job changes as they have moved to different employers throughout their career. Bill is different though in that he’s invested the last 25 years of his career with the same company – AT&T – and it has paid off. I was hoping to get some insight from Bill on how to manage one’s career when you want to stay at the same company but still continue to grow, and he definitely delivered in that area. Bill shares some wisdom on how to better facilitate getting a variety of opportunities presented to you while still remaining at the same organization.
Involvement
Bill also talks quite a bit about the value of being involved in your professional association. Bill’s a little different from our previous guests in this respect as well – he’s actually been a leader in two state organizations – the Georgia Society of CPAs as well as TSCPA.
Make sure you stay tuned until the end of this episode. When we get to “The Final Four Questions”, Bill shares a story of a management mistake he made earlier on in his career and what he learned from it. I know I definitely found the insight valuable, and I’m sure you will as well.
If you would like to contact Bill for further information, he can be reached through LinkedIn or at the email address he shares near the end of the interview.
Here we go! Enjoy…
