Does anyone know if we (EY) can do this with wageworks? The only options I’ve seen are for reimbursement or paying the parking lot directly

Yup.Its a cumbersome enrollment process, and the lag from withdrawal to benefit is I think 8-12 weeks. You also don’t lose funds with the commuter card as you would if you used WageWorks to pay a garage directly. They can transfer a balance to a commuter card, but will tell you they can’t.

I use it to pay for Uber and Lyft shared rides

Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

I’m about to give my notice at a firm I’ve been at for the majority of my legal career. They’ve recently offered me non-equity partnership (which I’ve accepted), w equity partnership on the horizon. However, I’ve been annoyed with their way of running the business and getting between me and my earnings far too long; and I received a lucrative offer to go in-house. I’m not looking forward to their reaction and feel bad about them having to take over my docket when everyone’s very busy. Any tips?

Question for those in "tech" cities. I am in Northern VA and view this area as a potential tech destination of the future as FAANG moves towards servicing the federal govt (see HQ2). Is there much of a premium in terms of pay for the accountants in the current tech cities? Is a career in FAANG as an accountant better than public accounting if you never expect to make partner? There already seems to be a severe shortage of talent here in NoVa so I'm wondering what to expect 3-5 years out.
