I have a friend who did. Went from a senior in Tax to recruiting in PA. Then left altogether to be an RN in her 30s. Loves being an RN. Can’t see herself doing anything else and wishes she’d done it sooner. She also said she’s met quite a few folks who have quit PA in their late 30s and 40s to go into the medical field. Don’t regret their decision one bit

Currently doing a part-time masters in business analytics and data analysis, and have all intention of pursuing a career in that field once I graduate. Something VERY unrelated to accounting!

@EY1- are you taking this part time in person or on-line?

@Associate1 Part time in person. Classes are weekends and/or evenings.

Which university?

Really kind of shocking that management would bring in three pretty conservative speakers. I mean, we know where Rob and they stand, but I thought MYJourney was about building us up as leaders and finding what makes us happy and succeed, not just throwing politics right in our face. Just kind of makes me think the whole MYJourney program is a joke now.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
