Yea, I've seen it come up occasionally on open position emails. But value FB real opinions over whatever a recruiter might say. Seems like could be cool for a few years.

Have a friend who did a 2 year rotation in Caymans. He loved it. Worked hard but enjoyed it.

Don't know of anybody first hand that did it, but I have heard that it is frowned upon by the firm as essentially an extended vacation and doesn't help much to develop your skills and progress your career.

Heard the opposite of PwC 1, you work a ton (practically 2 busy seasons a year) but develop a lot of skills and it looks great on the resume.

I've heard of people going stir crazy being stuck on a 20 mile island that long.

RSM1 - Manhattan is around a 20 mile island too. :-)

22 square miles, that is.

Yeah COL very high

But no income tax, and New York is already a high COL?

It is boring...that is the only part I am afraid of

So has anyone actually gone? Hoping to find some firsthand experience?

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?
