Did anyone here apply for Canadian citizenship last year? Curious to hear how the progress on your application has been, specifically the time duration, i.e., when did you receive the AOR letter and how long after that did you receive the invite for the test and then oath ceremony? Any applicants still waiting? I understand that processing times are longer than usual due to Covid and might vary on a case to case basis, but just want to get a sense of the average processing time.

At what age as an EA did you marry, if at all? I find myself devoted to my career which leaves little time for a romantic relationship, especially during Covid. Hoping there is some balance to be found in this role!

Born in US and have always been proud to be American, but this 4th of July I don’t feel the same. We have a 🤡 as President, completely failed response to the Coronavirus, banned from entering Europe, and racial tensions and divisions all around. We are the laughingstock of the world. Anyone else feel the same way?

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.

Thanks!

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
