When it’s genuine, it’s appreciated. When it’s a compliance check, it’s a eye roll moment that I move on from quickly.

I know when it’s genuine and when it’s not. So I feel some just reach out to be trendy, not that they care.

I appreciate the thought. I’ve been more surprised by those who haven’t reached out if I’m honest.

Do not work with many black people but our other people of color (Indians, Asians) don’t feel like they can relate. So I personally appreciate them trying to understanding that this is really/has been happening to OUR community.

I appreciate it for the most part. I know some cases of it are still “mandatory” from leadership. It’s still nice to take up some interest in how things may impact me. I think I would like to see more effort going in to how the firm can make a difference in the long run, but we shall see.

It was a nice gesture.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

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.
