Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things.

Need advice—torn btwn Booth and Sloan.

Do most firms make you fulfill your two weeks when you put in notice of resignation?

So...bonus was abysmal and I whined...but I had no idea that the profit sharing would be even more pathetic. Fuck this shit.
