How is GT TAS these days? I see a couple adverts out there for various levels.

Do you operate a regional or national practice? What are the billable hour requirements by level?

Regional practice (west / central / northeast / southeast)
As a director, you’ve either got to be doing 80% utilization, or have a lot of managed revenue. Ideally both to be higher performer.

Not racing to bottom as Baker Tilly 1 suggests but the experience may depend on the region / partners you work with

Firm is investing in transaction advisory a ton, so it’s a good place to be within GT

80% for the calendar year. So ~1,700 chargeable hours a year.

Requirements for managers are 82%, but you're certainly spending more time than that rate implies you would. Also, you'll be worked much, much more than that if you're a decent performer. At the manager level, I was working 60-80 hours very consistently at all parts of the year. The pay was pretty nice and I'm glad I stuck with it, but it was nearly impossible to have a life.

Also, it sounds like the partner path is being stripped away more and more every day at GT. I know this seems true across the industry (especially in middle market PE owned accounting firms), but GT seems to be an industry-leader in this category unfortunately.

GT is winning the race to the bottom. Would avoid

Why if you are on H1B is so much problematic for vendors looking for contractors ? Vendors keep on asking to join on W2 rather that Corp to Corp although for employees on H1B we cannot join on W2 due to immigration issues. Point being does it matter for end client , if the contractor is coming as W2 or not ?
