Anyone have a recommended CPA in NY? 🙏

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.

I've been applying to Internal Audit Manager positions and been rejected for 2 positions based on salary expectations. I have 12YOE in all kinds of audits and industries, is it unreasonable to ask for $120k+ in an industry position?

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Any other gay male accountants in the DC area?

I’ve never dated another accountant but I guess I’m not opposed.

I feel like mentally accountants are on the same wavelength. I can always tell when I’m talking to a fellow accountant.

I’ve never considered freelancing before, but this year I got hit with a series of unfortunate events… including leaving my role for an amazing offer that later got retracted. Any tips on where to start?

I’ve come to a point where I just started at the green dot on my laptop camera when talking. I want to do the Errol Morris interrotron to get some sort of connection. The lack of eye contact or staring off to the side from other participants makes me think they have high anxiety or on the spectrum like rain man.

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

Considering a contract to perm. Would be contract for 6 months. First time freelancing. 6 years experience. Job in NYC at a global brand. Would $130k be right to account for benefits? Less? More?

Morning 🐠, what’s a fair Dayrate for a Copywriter with 1 year agency experience?

Do agencies typically take the full 30 days to pay?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Where to even begin with freelance???? Any advice would be great!

If you freelance at one spot for a while but switch to a new location for a higher rate even though the original wanted to extend you, is that considered burning a bridge? Or can you go back later?

What would a fair day rate be for a pharma/health agency? Also, is it worth taking the gig just for money? I have other gigs to put in my book. Thanks!

I’m new to freelancing. Does anyone have any tips/resources to figure out how to do taxes?
