Tax person here. Deloitte (2 years) - Awesome culture, colleagues are friends, leaders are compassionate, work is demanding (both scope and complexity) although the long hours are manageable with a super liberal expense policy and endless happy hours. PwC (1 year) - Strict policies and protocols, management is uptight, offices are cramped, hoteling for tax people is none-sense, technical resources are some of the best, pay and raises were above market. RSM (1 year) - Highly over-worked, smart & driven people, competitive environment, lower pay. BDO (6 mos) - Ego doesn't match its reputation, red tape galore, boring culture. CLA (1 year) - Super uptight, cheap, by-the-book on everything, strong learning culture, highly technical, overly budget oriented, terrible clients. Baker Tilly (1 year) - Great clients, strong learning culture, somewhat social environment, cheap expense policy, benefits (PTO, 401k, paternity leave) on par with Big 4. Grant Thornton (internship) - Similar to RSM, stressful, long hours, adversarial with other firms, all work and no play.

Interesting. I'd be curious to know if these were mostly in the same city/region. I'm guessing it varies a ton by office within the same firm. For instance, some of the PwC stuff I totally agree with and makes sense as it is driven by national, but some of it I totally disagree with but seems like it's more based on my local leadership.

I recently left a company because I didn’t see eye to eye with management about recruitment. The company I worked for regularly touts its commitment to D&I but in the recruitment process my candidates were routinely exited for having natural hair, being too old, too “urban”, etc. I’m not looking to bitterly blow up their spot but I feel like someone needs to be aware of this. This was done at the higher levels of local leadership and I have no connection with anyone in corporate. What to do?

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?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
