Yes but I'm in the NYC market which is typically pretty diverse.

Yes & Yes. Advisory staff in a decent-sized midwest market, never felt like I was treated differently.

Yes, however I grew up in a place where I was in the majority so sometimes I forget that I am a minority. Also helps that I am in a diverse city - my team members don't treat me any differently.

Depends on the team. My team is very diverse so I personally don't feel the minority pressure here. But I know the team next to us only has three minorities out of 80 people, culture there sucks big time.

Overall, I feel great about things. Thats not to say there hasn't been a remark here and there that was more than questionable though.

I hear Associate 1, there hasn't been a day that i was not reminded of that by my team

the main partner I work for hasn’t been giving me consistent enough work (or type I want) so while I work for him still on some deals, I’ve had to go and get other work from other partners. He doesn’t regularly check in on what I’m working on. He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!

Currently in discussions with EY for a position in their Strategy & Transaction team, fdd service line. I made it clear that I am interested in expanding my skillset in the future and maybe work on a strategy project if possible (i want to specialise in an industry, instead of a service line).
Is it possible to do a secondment within the firm in the future if i wanted to do that?

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?
