EY FSO mandatory hours are bogus. Busy season is right around the corner... This isn't very motivating.

If they expect people to bust their asses in June they need to rework the utilization clock. Nothing motivating when chargeability basically counts for nothing after round tables.

It's absolute BS. FSO groups in the southeast are doing it. Ratings and promotions are locked in tomorrow, right? So what's my incentive to work overtime in June? I sacrifice time with my family and friends 5 months out if the year and prioritize EY over them during busy season. I work 80 to 90 hour weeks during busy season and it's not enough? In June, I need to be home. Period.

Exactly. That's why I am no longer EY FSO

Nothing is going to happen. What are they going to do? Fire the few tax people they have who are already way overworked. Seems like a standard they can't actually enforce other than being nagged.

Is this just for tax?

Ya it's FSO tax. A lot of people aren't taking it seriously. We'll see if anything "happens" because of it. Any other offices being strict about it?

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.

I’m confused about the proposed tax changes.

If I make for example less than $400k in wages but I sell $1.1 million in LTCG. Does that mean I follow the current LTCG rules or does it bring me up to the 40%?
