Folks I want to pick your catholic mind on the American election. I’ve seen Pro life and Pro choice being a major topic all these times and now the Supreme Court being dragged into it.Do you think the politicians are really protecting life or is it just to lure the conservative or right wingers 🧐🧐🧐

What alt coins do you suggest I split $200 in?

Is it mandatory to submit previous employment declaration while submitting Income tax declaration. Or we can just skip this. Since this is my 2 nd company not aware of this much. What happens at the end of financial year if we don't declare previous employment declaration. Seniors kindly help🙏

Overheard & awkward conversations

I’m in tax and failed REG for the second time... it was by a few points, but still. I’m not really sure what’s going on. Super bummed out but taking it again soon Hopefully third time’s a charm 🙏🏼

Have efforts to increase diversity in real estate careers been successful, or do you think there is still a long way to go?

I've recently went to a restaurant and saw a robot waiter, I thought that was the coolest thing. What do you all feel about this shift in the restaurant industry?

Anyone here cringe or shudder when they see someone with loads of Botox and face work done? I find it hard to look at people like that.

Hi Fishes,

I had my APTA and Technical within 2 days but now waiting for 4 days for further communication.
Can someone help me here.

Hello folks,
Please help me with likes for direct message

Thanks

Anyone here willing to connect/talk about buying a house in Toronto. Would really appreciate it. I am just overwhelmed thinking about it and not taking any action.

How long it will take to release the offer letter after HR discussion in BOA?My LWD is on Dec 28 will it be able to make it before? Kindly suggest

What’s the average length of time a PM stays at an agency these days? What’s the longest you’ve been anywhere?

Anyone gone through the CFI’s FMVA certification program? Is it worth it for FDD?

Is it worth considering a career in Restructuring Consulting in the long term given that their work can be quite cyclical and hinges on the spectrum of the economy.
Or have I misunderstood this? Are the teams always busy with projects?

I have to say EY FDD interview process was very scary lol a little nervous on if I will be getting it or not

EY TARAS or EY GCR??? Between these 2 service lines which has better pay and opportunities??

If you’ve just turned SA2 in audit but you have an option to do PwC CF in SE Asia, would you take it ? Or try and stick it out in London Audit for another year or two to try and eventually make the move?

What’s the difference between FAAS and FDD? Also which one pay better?

Writing a report for the first time and feel way in over my head. Team didn’t discuss what adjustments we want as a group before divvying up—new transfers what has been your experience?

What’s EYs investment banking practice like? How’s the WLB/experience gained? Is it worth it?

Anyone recently had an interview at EY for experienced associate for FDD?

Differences between GT and BDO for FDD?

I’m an MBA with 1.5 YOE. Signed with PwC as Exp. associate in Deals-Valuation starting in June 2022, Philly office. Initial offer was 79k and I got email about 5% bump… does anybody know if I’ll be getting the additional 10%?

Valuations or FDD? Trying to decide which team has the best exit opportunities/WLB/interesting work.

Are interview case studies difficult? Is it done live or is it take-home? What should I expect in terms of content/questions, duration, difficulty?

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

If anyone out there is interested in learning more about FDD / Transaction Advisory Services and/or is looking for a position in this field (especially in Seattle), please reach out! I recently came over to RSM from Big 4 and we are actively hiring and building out this team!

Are there certain firms that are more accepting of Tax backgrounds entering advisory positions? I’m a CPA with a couple years regional tax experience looking to transition to advisory/deals, but have struggled getting big 4 advisory interviews even with solid recommendations.
I’ve heard there’s solid opportunities in advisory type work for some other large firms outside big 4. Has anybody made a similar transition?

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone in FDD is in for the long long haul? I remember in audit everyone would talk about quitting or how they're only going to do audit for a few years to get experience and then leave. I'm not really seeing the same in TS. Just my observation.

Anyone in tax m&a left for industry? What role did you take and what was the pay like? JD here but interested in both JD and CPA’s experiences.

Has anyone moved from FDD to Strategy? I have an offer for FDD but long term goal is to break into strategy. Don’t want to have to get an MBA unless it’s firm sponsored…and FDD is easier to get in compared to Strategy
