Public accounting firms that are hiring tax compliance staff/associates? Haven’t been laid off yet but the writing is on the wall

All loyalty I felt to RSM is gone. Who wants a referral bonus?

I'm worried if there is been any instances of Opening Freezed or any other reason to not on-board ?

Appreciate your thoughts on this.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

Anyone from Deloitte M&A practice can chat about roles? I have questions in regards to M&A start manager and M&A integration.

Has anyone on here moved from IB to management consulting as an experienced hire? How do you view the decision in retrospect?

Is there any band at each level? If yes what is the starting band for Manager level and min salary package?

Need 11likes for dm please

I used to have a fitbit. Really liked a lot of its features. Like the reminder to move and the competition within the app (games and competitionvs friends). However, whenever I was at work I'd find myself taking it off for more comfortable typing and then forgetting it during the day. Now that I'm back at work I'm sitting more and need to move. I was thinking of getting an oura ring. Does anyone have one? Any thoughts as to which is better?

Fishes, is 110K for Senior 3 consultant an average offer?

I am doing a confirming interview for the business agility practice at @Accenture this week. Any idea on what comp I should ask for? I’m an Agile Coach with 6 YOE and would be coming in at a L7 (associate manager). The role may involve travel.

Anyone involved in minting / creating NFTs? Would love to learn more or be pointed to resources. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos, but wanted a more pointed direction. Tia!

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

What kind of exit opportunities are there for tax senior? Looking into getting an MBA. Any thoughts?

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the M-3. You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?

LA vs Boston. Which city pays higher? Big4 tax

Once a vaccine is found (assuming it'll be in the next 12 months) how long do you think it'll take the economy to rebound?

Anyone else feeling like everything is on a one week delay? I’m barely getting through my days

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?

Anyone looking for new opportunities with middle market firms after the 9/15 or 10/15 deadline? Message me if you are interested in BDO. Most tax positions are still fully remote or flexible. Busy season you average around 55 to 60 hours, rarely goes over 65.

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

Any public accounting firms in Albuquerque?

Thoughts on a manager texting you to ask why you aren’t online Easter weekend when all of your work is completed and another senior who can’t handle their own work decided to randomly send you their returns to review?

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?

Does anyone have any good self created templates they’re willing to share for use in the context of stock option planning?

Got an offer (yay!) and waiting on hireright to complete the background check. Anyone had experience with them since the pandemic and if so, how long did it take?

On H1-B with approved I-140, currently looking out for State & Local Tax Senior/New Manager opportunity. Kindly share the leads, thank you.

Recruiter is telling me that fund administrators pay more than private funds at SM/Director levels. Are people seeing this? I always thought it was the other way around

I know I'm in the minority here (and I swear this isn't a brag) but is anyone else less stressed this busy season working from home, and finding issues focusing because of it? My work is getting done, but just very very slowly. I'm able to sleep throughout the night and not wake up early (which is a huge negative right now) and literally feel no need to stay glued to my computer as in prior years. Am I broken?

Does anyone have any career insight for a tax associate in corp dev? Is it as lucrative as regular corp dev? What do you do on a day-to-day basis?

I miss BNA 🥺
