Been at PwC tax for a little more than a year. Thinking about switching to a smaller local firm for a better salary and something I would like to do. Due to the current market and the reduction of staff many firms are conducting, would this be a smart idea?

I recently did the same after 2.5 years with PwC. Better comp with the smaller firm, I’m learning more, good benefits, less stress. Also they are doing very well and paying bonuses. Even did an extra mid-year bonus after very strong performance through the 7/15 tax deadline. Life is good

TL;DR: Jump!

Hi & welcome.
Tell me your stories. Why made you decide to choose a career that's different and creative? I'll start. I am an extrovert. I am not very keen of studying and that, ideally is the reason why engineering or medical was not my cup of tea. I chose Journalism and Mass Media. In the academics, we had multiple subjects and one of them was Writing for media. This was the beginning. This is where I thought I can be a writer. A Content Writer. Besides this, I am love Rhyming Words.

You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?
