Early Tax business Senior getting messages from Big 4 recruiters. Would you say sticking it out for a full year at senior be worth it before switching or is it better just to jump now? From what I hear I will take a hit back to associate for a little while before promotion. PwC for their promotion schedule and the other three as it's SOP? Any thoughts?

Totally agree with tm1. Come in at senior and don’t do it for anything less than a 30% bump. It’s a hot market and all 4 tax groups are in serious need in most markets.

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?
