Do you recommend hiring a tax consultant vs. doing it yourself using turbotax or the likes? Do tax consultants bring additional value/savings when compared to the risk of sharing your SSN with someone

I always use Her Block Advisors. Costs more but definitely peace of mind and less hassle for me.

I charge for my advise....don't mind paying for the same.

Depends on how complex your taxes are. For basic stuff 1099 and a few deductions easy to go with softwares.

If you have lot of deductions, small business etc... definitely go with CPA.

You’re sharing your SSN with many daily , who you don’t you even see or know. That’s not the point here. People hire tax consultants if they have complicated sources of incomes, own businesses , too many deductibles etc. If you have straightforward W2 , a tax consultant will be more hassle and cost. Or if you just want to talk to human.

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.
