For FinCen/FBAR reports, does it matter what exchange rate site you use (treasury v oanda v something else)? Seems they all have slightly different fx rates which I don’t really get in general but curious if it matters or if we can pick one and run with it.

Anybody else struggling with the fact that nearly all their friends are coupled up?
Not in an envious way. Just... Damn, this sh*t can leave you very alone.

I know the general answer to this, but I want to know others response.

My firm has implemented a casual dress code through the end of the year and I’m hardcore judging everyone who is still dressing up when they come in. Who would voluntarily wear a suit or dress?

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me. Examples- there was a man with a gun in parking lot that I had to flee from and call police, he didn’t care- just asked me when I was coming back to work.😳 zero compassion. didn’t care I had a blinking light above my desk, waited two months to fix it though my eye was twitching! Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!

Anyone know a good data resource? I’m struggling with an assignment for grad school about collecting and analyzing data. I need to identify an educational problem relevant to my educational setting (ECE-8th music at an urban public school) and analyze existing data that is relevant to the problem in order to draw conclusions. I’m finding great research papers, but not a lot of data I can analyze. TIA

Recs for barber for asian hair? Thanks in advance.

This slow and steady stop is a little scary.

Long time advocate getting a little nervous. Believe in technology, but have no idea what my true investment worth will be by year end.

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.

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?

Now that we have work all year long and lack of an off season, isn’t it a good argument to work just 40 hours a week all year long? Of course there will be some 45s, but I feel it can all be managed if leaders are willing to turn away work and still make a good living. I just don’t see the tax profession improving at its current state, am I just being pessimistic? I know the demand will be there but to continue to work 55+ hours doesn’t sound like something I want to continue as I get older.

PwC or EY Houston Tax?

Is there a tax practice that involves lots of tax research and doesn’t require a lot of compliance? I love the technical side of tax and don’t mind spending all night researching a tax issue (that’s what got me into a master of tax) but I just hate hate compliance side of tax

Anyone work in one of the tax technology groups? I’m currently in SALT, but have some significant technology experience from some prior roles that I think could make me a decent fit for something like this. How is the WLB, pace of work, etc.? Im also curious how the exit opportunities look?

Why do people in m&a tax make so much more than regular / international? Is the work that much harder / more challenging? It seems like they mostly just coordinate with other teams. Basically like jack of all trades but master of none?

Part of me thinks they can charge higher fees because they’re on a transaction and seen less as a “cost” center. On the sell side they’re helping generate revenue and on the buy side they’re doing the same, although not immediately

Why are EMBAs more expensive than MBAs? Do they have higher ROI?

Anyone ever go work at the state - department of revenue ?

Suggestions needed. Got offer from other Big4s with same money offer. Got to talk to very great partners, and practices/work-life balance are very similar across all 3 firms. Currently more toward DT but only cuz I know more people there so I feel less nervous going there. When it comes to turning down offers, what other professional reasons can I provide?

What is comp like for a Federal Tax Senior 1 going into Tax Senior 2 year? Chicago

Has anyone ever sued Big 4 for unfair firing?

How do you know if this profession is for you? I gave up some hobbies I enjoy during busy season, but have more time for summer hobbies. I don’t want to be like many senior managers in my firm where you stick it out for 10-15 years, then look back with regrets. Feel like I’m at the point (5 yes in) where I dig in and accept this life or get out.

Why should new grads go into public accounting from your point of view? Also, do you think they think the same as you?
