It wouldn’t be a proper start to the new year without scanning the horizon for potential threats, opportunities and trends. Our look ahead for 2024 identifies reasons to be optimistic among the alarming events playing out in global geopolitics. Read about positive developments in the technology space and in sustainability endeavours, among warnings around the global economy.
The new year is also a time to reflect on our own futures. How do we feel about our careers and ambitions? Are we living our best lives? Is it time to work on ourselves? This month we have guidance on how to work with a coach, and how to make a good impression at interview. We also report on UK salary expectations for accounting professionals in a tight recruitment market.
