Any public accountants from big 4 or even top 10 in the Tampa bay region? I’m curious if public is a little more laid back (specify audit, tax, consulting) than possibly big cities like LA, NYC, etc.

I’m in Tampa & I don’t think PA is more laid back. I worked for PWC as an tax associate & worked 2 busy seasons a year, 60+ hours. Was a senior in industry & worked similar hours. Starting at local CPA firm tomorrow as tax manager, I can tell you after 4/15 if it’s laid back or not!

7 years in audit in Tampa bay for big4….not laid back at all. Compared to other offices, I say it’s on par with big cities(worked with partners/execs from Chicago, NYC, LA).

like

That’s what I thought. Maybe it’s the local firms that I need to look into.

I work in advisory in SE and have staff and a main client in Tampa. I’m sure it’s dependent on the client/project, but it’s way more laid back than NYC/Chicago/Boston/DC.

I think it is. There’s a larger percentage of small private jobs/midsize jobs which can be beneficial to WLB. Also in my experience people are more personable compared to other Florida offices. Not sure about LA/NYC

Ok, maybe this has been done before, but I want to get a real life sense of the difference between EPLI and Private L&E (management side) practices. Let's do a poll:

1.) Primary source of business: EPLI or Private Companies?

2.) Number of matters you are currently working on

3.) Average billable rate (your year)

4.) Normal working hours/wk

5.) Percentages: Litigation vs Counseling

6.) Type of firm: ID, Big 4, Boutique, BigLaw, etc.

I'll kick things off in comments.

Hi folks, I have recently joined Publicis Sapient taking an offer of 14.4 LPA. I have total 4.5 years of experience and my previous CTC was around 3.4 LPA. I had various offers in hand but not one to counter this one and PS is providing me 4x+, so I couldn't negotiate much.

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.
