Any large firms include directors and non-equity principles in the pension plan?

Maybe some perspective might be of use to me. I’m transitioning out of the service and I’ve positioned myself decently to be competitive in the market. I’ve got two offers from great companies. Biotech and Healthcare, both on the Human Capital Team as an Employee Relations Consultant. I have a graduate degree pursuing a Doctorate, LSSBB, ScrumMaster, SPHR, and PMI-ACP certified. I know this is personal and dependent, but what should I be considering as a commensurate salary?

Does anyone here have good sourcing resources for a Payroll & Benefits Specialist for full-time work?

Anyone in ny market do per diem work if so what type of work and what do you charge and what practice level are you at?

Started using TalkSpace recently and really have not connected with my therapist after 3 sessions, but I get so anxious about the prospect of telling her I want to try someone else even though it’s one of the touted benefits of the app. I’ve contemplated just ghosting and changing my therapist in my account, but don’t want to do that either.
I know this seems like such a minor thing, but it’s really stressed me out. What is the proper etiquette here / how do I approach this?

Was curious I have a BSME and around 8 months experience in a tilt sensor company w/$50,000 salary +ok benefits. What would be a reasonable raise to expect for my yearly review location:NY metro area

I am so conflicted and not sure what to do. A company I wanted to work for was not ready for hire when I first reached out in Sept. Since then I have accepted a job at a outpatient oncology clinic, starting in Jan at a renowned hosp. Having said that the other company does more of what I was hoping to do when I left my previous job. The company is a vessel for new ideas in healthcare helping their community specifically with seed funding, & launching their own programs. I have no idea what to do

What does everyone think about the whole Mark Cuban cost-plus drugs situation? Is this the way to devalue the monopoly of healthcare insurance companies and PBMs? I personally love the cost transparency, and I can see why patients would too.

Folks making more than £100K: How do you deal with the 60% effective tax rate on the 100-125K bracket? (HMRC gradually reduces your £12,750 personal tax-free allowance to £0.)

This is the first time it is happening to me. With one month to go until the end of the tax year, I'm thinking of making a one-off extra pension contribution next payroll.

Any other effective strategies with only one month to go?

Hi Big4 Fishes,

My KPMG HR had verbally told me that I would be eligible for the relocation benefits once office resumes...and a annual bonus ranging from 10-30% of CTC

But there's no mention of that in the OL...

Shall I ask her to generate a new OL or not required?

Thank you🙏🏾

I once had a job where I was ultimately made to be the scapegoat for the many problems at the company. It was an extremely difficult time and I had very little support. Plus it was during the pandemic. I spent the next couple of years looking for another full time position. Thankfully, I found one last month. Soon after I started, I realized I’m still troubled by that toxic experience. I’m now using my newly acquired EAP benefits to address it because I’m afraid of it happening again.

When is JPMC planning to modernize its applications/projects. Have heard they are planning to move to AWS but how much time will it take? My team is still using some old tech although they plan to move to microservices

I’m applying to NYU’s PT program for fall 2021 start, and the final deadline is May 15th. I’m trying to gauge how much longer I can study/when the latest date I should take the exam.

Hello fellow product marketers! I would love to know how you all track your value and work numerically. It’s tough to track data and analytics of a PMM’s work with PMM being influencers to marketing and sales counterparts who then go in and deploy campaigns or sell a product - generating revenue based on your positioning/messaging/strategy. Would love to know your thoughts!

I would very much like a more time for leisure, but I don’t want to take a giant leap backwards in terms of where I am in my professional career, with 6 years of big law under my belt. I’m a litigator. Help me figure out my next move, fish friends?

I’ve tried for an hour to get a recorded macro of pivot table reformatting to work (so I don’t have to keep doing all the steps to customize them.). What am I doing wrong? It stops on the second step where it seems to refer to the original pivot table name or active sheet. I even tried using that “universal reference “ button. Help.

🎇What’s your biggest win from 2021?

Drop it below, let’s celebrate 🥳

Vaccine mandates over finally. Except for the unconstitutional hypocritical NYC mandate.

I’m considering joining EY in London. Currently at a boutique consultancy. I joined Fishbowl to try to get a sense ‘from the inside’ of the Big4 as I don’t have close contacts I can ask. I’ve seen a lot of griping in the other channels from more junior staff about comparatively low pay, EY not keeping up, clunky tech, etc. Is that just normal / expected grumbling? Would be really interested in the Partner perspective on this. Feel free to DM if more appropriate. Thanks!

Did you make a "Resolution" for this year? If so, what was it? I'm working on spending more time with my family, and staying away from tech to the best of my ability on Sundays.

Does anyone know what the payout plan looks like for non-equity partners at EY in consulting/advisory if the split goes ahead? Please DM if not comfortable posting here.

How is the current madness around Omicron affecting your firm? Are you implementing or changing policies to address it? Know this is a touchy subject, just taking a pulse.

What are some key ways you balance stress and not taking it out on others/family? It's something I'm always working on but none of us are perfect. That said, I've made vast improvements. During the winter it's always harder as I feel many of my outlets are limited [like golf etc]

I work a midsize regional firm and, no surprise, we are hemorrhaging staff. And it’s the good ones leaving. Some for family offices and industry positions, which I can understand. But others for smaller accounting firms as staff and seniors which just seems like a career killer to me. I’m convinced we need to do retention bonuses, raises, and recruit new talent by paying above market. Of course I’m a younger partner and don’t have the pull to actually make this happen. Thoughts?

I started a firm with three other colleagues about a year and a half ago. We all came from the same bigger firm and now obviously we are considered a very small. We want to make our first hire and hire someone for around $100,000 as a manager to manage around $200,000 of work. They came back at $120,000. After taxes and benefits that’s $150k to manage and prepare $200k of work. Anyone own a smaller firm who can share opinion? How much work should one manage for that kind of salary?

Guys - can anyone share earnings at BDO and RSM at 1-5 years of partner experience. Trying to negotiate with one of these firm and will be helpful to know.

Will auditing eventually be conducted electronically using AI? What does the future hold?

Any firms that use CCH make sure your invoices are being checked carefully. We just reviewed ours and were over-billed the last 2 years. We were supposed to have discounts and the math wasn’t even correct across for the amount times the discount to the amount billed. The worst part is our rep then gave a bullshit story of how the list price was incorrect on the invoice but the amount billed was correct.

Where are all the accounting professionals going? Competitive pay and benefits aren’t enticing enough. People want work/life balance but how can firms provide that when the workforce supply is so low yet demand is at an all-time high. If technology is the answer are there firms that are successfully implementing solutions?

Work in tax, moved to a new state a number of years ago and didn't transfer my CPA license. Got a partner offer from a top six firm in my new state. Can I become a partner before I transfer my license to my new state?

How does leaving a cpa firm partnership work? I have no next role set up but feel like it might be best to give notice and start the process now. Thanks for any advice.

What do other partners take as unreimbursed partnership expenses? I have heard some say they do nothing (because it isn’t addressed in the partnership agreement) but others say they take quite a bit (if there is an expense policy manual that disallows it). My read of the law is the latter is the correct read.

Expectation vs Reality: what did you think Partner was going to be like on your way there, and what would you say your experience is like now? What have you learned?

What's your best advice for someone who wants to make Partner and is early in their career?
