It is a very good and well respected job. It pays very well, provides a lot of flexibility and has a lot of perks. Being a Big4 partner will give you a very good life. Some have plum jobs but I would not describe it as cushy.

My old sm was at the client until 1am or 2am the whole busy season. Not Cushy at all!!

No lol

I have a bit of a wild question about leaving a position and starting another one. A while back I was invited to speak at a conference, which I’m excited to do. Since the invitation though I’ve been looking to exit my current position. Would it be inappropriate to have my last week of work be the week of the conference? I’m concerned if I leave before I won’t get to attend (current job is paying for my attendance) but if it wasn’t a factor I’d probably leave 2 weeks from now lol

Hello,

Last Wednesday I was able to get a
Deloitte job referral, I applied the next day. Yesterday I signed in to my account and it shows that I applied for the job but when I click on the link it show me an error page. I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

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?
