Any news from anyone, especially during covid?

Most annoying thing a nearby coworker does? I'll lead it off with something I do: sniffle all morning due to allergies.

I have a CoPR but no PR cards and currently in US. Can I travel to Canada via road? Are borders closed for PR holders due to covid?

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

Has anyone attempted Fractals test on Tableau ?

If your industry is severely impacted by covid, how is your leadership reacting? Are you seeing more cross-industry collaboration?

Anyone got a lasik surgery in the Atlanta metro area in the last few years? I am thinking of getting one and interested in knowing more about where to get it from, your experience and other feedback. Thank you.

Can we pin a post with recommendations for professionals and therapists that you can trust in your geographic location? If so, I’ll start in the comments with my recommendation.

I was laid off last week due to COVID-19. I know it’s hard to find companies hiring for their tax department right now. But please message if you know of any job opportunity. I’m in SE FL.

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

In the process of interviewing for a strategy/Corp dev position at an activewear/athleisure company and they want me to think of a couple tangential industries that may have companies for acquisition and do a write up. I’m stumped on what else an activewear company would buy besides other activewear companies. I can only think of home fitness (Lulu’s Mirror) or vitamins/supplements. Any thoughts?

I've been gardening more to relieve stress and have some time to my self. Full endorsement!

Anyone know where I can buy a mask?

Anyone had luck finding a good therapist who actually understands ADHD? Getting advice like "try taking a walk every day" and "practice these breathing exercises" is driving me crazy. I need actual solutions and shit, not just platitudes and internet worksheets.

How’s everyone doing? The lack of sex really put me into a depressed state.

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

My cousin is in great shape physically and I know he could get through that part of basic training/boot camp but don't know if he could handle all the yelling because of past trauma he's been through. Thoughts / advice?

Entering my 2nd year as a medical malpractice (insurance) defense litigator. My billables are 2200 per year, even during WFH and COVID while the courts are moving very slowly. Any advice as to what I should look into for an exit? I can’t hit those billables while maintaining my sanity.

Anyone here in the FTO group? How is it?

I came to US on an L1b in 2018 and switched to H1b in 2021 Oct. Current 797/visa expiry is stated as July 2023, by which I would have spent 1.5 years on H1b visa (and 3.5 years on L1b before that). During h1b extension , will I get another 4.5 years of extension? How does extension work when u switch visas?

I am having 1.5 years of experience in RPA UiPath and total experience too and having a package of 7 with a monthly of 44k in hand.

Latino now working on PwC NYM... Is there anyone else from South American countries in this office ? I mean like secondments or transfers. Not mandarory to be a South American either... Just curious.

How many of my fellow Latinos are CPAs? I have 3 more but want to represent us and get it done 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I would think Miami, LA, Chicago, NYC. Anyone attend the ALPFA convention?

We still can’t score 50+ after an invite? Dang...

Hola! Ya se terminó el busy season. Como les fue?

Tax sucks. Bleah.

How do you answer this question “What race are you?” Seems simple but as someone of Latin American geographic decent it seems more complex than Asian, black, native America, or White. No brown box !

anyone here a conservative and a member of a political organization/non-profit in the NYC area? Want to be active but it’s hard to find latinos who affiliate with the republican party. Don’t come @ me

Out of curiosity...is ALPFA 🇪🇸 friendly? I know back in the day, but curious how it was now. I want to encourage everyone to get into accounting. Thanks!

Wow so dead! I guess we really are the minority 😕

Hii, anyone going to the ALPFA? Convention this year? Or went to it last year? Tips?

So happy to see the Latinos finally represent!

Would it be frowned upon or make anyone feel comfortable if I as a Black male join ALPFA? I want to get true genuine opinions as I don't want to offend anyone/culture

What up ya'll - let's start getting more people in here. Curious what your experience has been like as a minority at your firm.

I’m looking for a Spanish speaking auditor for a Fortune 500 company. Awesome international travel if anyone is interested.... TIA!

How’s attending the ALPFA conference in Vegas?

Excited for the HLN Leadership Essentials!

Is anyone here actively involved in ALPFA and if so, would you recommend it? What have you been able to accomplish through your membership/participantion. Ultimately, I just get the sense that its for college students to network and try landing their first job.

Serious question, why is that most of us aren’t CPAs? 90% of my latino buddies have pushed the CPA aside who are at at the senior level
