My understanding is it effects IFS mostly. It's a way to downsize. For example the same number of college recruiters are covering a larger, merged market. There have been other IFS cuts as well. From what I have been told, partners have told Captain Timmy they are tired of seeing firm revenue increase and not seeing a corresponding increase in their payouts. Source: A close friend who is a manager in IFS who is not to happy about said internal changes

Trimming down. Benefits? Haha.

Easier networking!

Accurate ^

The northeast market is trimming down partners I know that. Not sure if it is related or not.

It allows more resources fir the new market and allow to firm fat. Making it better for all. I like it.

But are they really going to pay to fly someone out and house someone from Indianapolis to Rochester?

Considering exit opps in private equity for tax manager roles. With the market as it is what kind of range would you expect? PA pay is through the roof right now (based on recruiters and friends in other firms 160-170) so I'm not sure how that should compare to industry.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.
