For those managers and senior managers who are directly working with new staff and interns - how are you maintaining the quality? I am at a breaking point now as I have no seniors on 3 of my clients. How am I supposed to concentrate on complex allocations if I have to do all the updates on basic M-1s. All the experienced S2 and S3s I trained got pulled into other engagements as acting managers. I am about to smash my laptop into pieces 😫

Lol my group has been understaffed for so long that it’s pretty rare for me to have an actual “team” on my files. It took some time but basically I learned to chill out and teach the new staff/interns the basics + common errors that I normally see new staff/interns make. Usually that nips it in the bud but sometimes just gotta get my hands dirty. It also helps to have good relationships with the other managers/partners in the group to negotiate staffing for clients that I know are complex.

Don’t understand why they like to waste people’s time like this.

Intl Tax folks, how long did it take before you were confident in your role? I've worked for the past 3 years in a practice that is heavily consulting based (inbound and outbound structuring) and I feel like I'm only just starting to understand the foundational concepts (where I can explain them clearly to clients) and offering a shred of value. Then I'll have calls where partners discuss complex tax, legal, treasury and other related concepts that all go over my head.. it becomes overwhelming

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
