A2 here, pros and cons of staying another year through busy season as a senior (for sure not staying in PA). I’ve been in an in-charge position all of this busy season and not sure I will gain all that much staying another year. Hard not to think about leaving when I have recruiters messaging me on linkedin almost everyday..

I would stay a couple more months for the senior title, but you don’t necessarily have to stay another year. I’ve seen quite a few people leave for senior accountant positions before then

I think it’s easier to compete for a new job when you have the senior title. Not to say it’s impossible to get a new job, but you’ll find a lot more callbacks and a lot more options when you have that senior title.

Test the market now. See if you can get your 40% bump now instead of next year. If not, just keep looking. Nobody says you need to actually leave now.

I interviewed for the position of Associate Human Capital Advisory role at KPMG. I cleared my first round but for the second round tgey gave me 2 case studies and one excel assessment to be completed in 2.5 hours.

Tax question - I make about $200k and get half of my income from a W-2 and another half from being an independent contractor. Because, I’m subject to pay both FICA and SECA taxes. Do my social security taxes get capped on amounts paid above the ~$140k threshold across both my W-2 and 1099 incomes or am I out of luck and have to pay more than that since only about 100k of my income is FICA and the other 100K is SECA (which is subject to ~12% overall including the ER portion)?
