Does anybody here do content creation (day in my life type content) while working full time in tax? Just curious.

15 years in, and that call to the other two bidding companies never gets easier. Especially on a Friday. To all the Directors, EPs, and reps in here - thank you for what you do.

Supposed to go on an anniversary/major birthday trip this fall to Croatia/Italy. Instead looking after Christmas/NYE domestic. Ideally not frigid but not a dealbreaker. Continental US suggestions? Not FL :)

I've used AirBNB, but never VRBO - is one better than the other?

Anyone have a recommended tax person in Chicago?

Hi there. What is considered a good salary for a project manager?

Any thoughts on Phillips Lytle? If you could please provide insight on culture/billable requirements? Thank you.

I am working for a client in infosys and the project is in initial stage and the go live is somewhere in January.

Now the thing is this project has lot of toxic people from client team and they play blame games on daily basis.

I am working as a team lead here and want to get deallocated from this project.

Please help me with right approach and save my soul.

What do you feel is your top career blocker now? Or put differently, what’s stopping you from earning more or advancing?

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

Can anyone tell me the Manager bandings for S&C?

What's the range for L10 Tech/London. Pretty disappointed with the perf discussion result and being told that I am already at the higher side of range☹️.

I'm still mad about Theon... 😒

I joined OPTUM today so how soon we can expect laptop and goodies.

Considering a jump from Chicago to New York. I truly love living in Chicago and how far this salary gets me but I definitely want to try to make it in New York.

The only problem is my significant other has a lot of negative opinions about New York. I ultimately want to return to DC but I feel like a few good years in New York would be really good for me. In terms of a place to live, where in Manhattan can I find a place that's similar to River North in Chicago?

What is up with greedy landlords/management raising rent by absurd amounts?? Just got my lease renewal and the rent hike is $1400 per month. Why does NYC not do more to protect us from this kind of predatory behavior?

currently at a mid sized firm looking to go B4 but don't know anyone. should i hit up recruiters or staff on linkedin?

Where is VMware Pune office located? Showing different address on Google and on website.

Also please suggest some locality to search for flats/pg near by.

Anyone on here familiar with California’s treatment of a conservation easement deduction for individual taxpayers? I’ve found a bunch of research indicating it’s limited to 30% of AGI, but the people who orchestrated this whole deal think it’s 50% of AGI.

If anyone has a summary of the green book highlights please forward to me. Thank you

Seeing it firsthand. Book net income: $5,000. PPP Loan forgiveness: $1,500,000. Owners distributions: $1,500,000.

My group is doing alot of regional coordination for m&a and reorganisations which I feel stuck in as I haven't learnt much substantive tax law...has anyone had this experience and did they switch to something else? E.g. US international tax

Debating leaving and going to a different Big 4, thoughts?

List the college you went to. When you graduated. How much you pay monthly on student loans and when you think you will be done.

Anyone get to the end of the week and see the amount of hours you billed and think “what did I actually do all that time”? Idk maybe I have bad memory.

Let’s hear it: how many hours a week are you working from now til April?

Need to feel better about my schedule 😅

Hey guys I’m trying to figure out the market rate for a staff tax accounting position as I am new to the industry. I am looking in Long Island New York any help would be great. Looking to start at a mid sized firm.

At any level above Senior, how do u manage the relationship between utilization and realization, which is an inverse relationship. Seems to be either blow the budget (and write it off), or eat a lot of time.

Anyone from Deloitte have insight for the Blockchain & Crypto focused tax practice? M1 in international tax contacted by Deloitte recruiter to join the group but didn't know this existed.

I have more than 12 years of tax attorney experience at biglaw and big4. Are there any big4 positions that pay more than 200k? National Tax? Anything else?

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?

How long does it take for PwC to send out rejection email? I interviewed with the team like a month ago, the recruiter called me the next day and told me that congrats, everyone likes me and told that they were working on my official offer. 3 weeks later, nothing. I followed up 3 times already and got the answer that I should expect to hear by the end of the week. My last follow up email, no response lol. Should I just move on now?

Today’s my bday. Also my beloved family dog is getting put to sleep due to cancer. I didn’t take the day off today for either reasons. Do I have my priorities messed up right now?

Why do leaders keep comparing how “good”the new staff/seniors have it because they make more money starting out then they did and working 55 hours is better than the 70-80 hours they used to work? Instead they should compare what options they have available to them and what their goals are.

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

Need help guys: LLM in International Taxation: NYU ($65,000) or UF ($22,000)? Is it worth the extra 43K for a NYU degree? If you’re recruiting someone, does it matter to you whether they went to UF or NYU?

Can you jump from a tax staff to a manager? With cpa and 5 years experience?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
