How do you feel most supported by peers during busy season? Obviously we are all going through it, but I try to lift the homies up when/if I can so wanted to hear from the majority :-)

Does anyone have experience switching to another big 4 as a tax manager? Did your old firm terminate your employment immediately? If yes, did you still get paid for your notice period?

How would you handle this? I was assigned to the nightmare legal team. I am to prepare returns for their clients that have tax court deadlines. I asked for a list of returns and their deadlines within the next 3 weeks so I can prioritize and know what is coming down the pipeline. I was just told, No official due dates, this can change quickly as calls requesting returns come in.

Imagine a grocery store with only 1 cashier because the owner doesn’t want cashiers having nothing to do. Not until the line is 20 deep does he bring in another one. Then when both lines are 20 deep he brings in a 3rd. That’s public accounting.
