How is the job market out there for tax professionals? Just a general question for open discussion.

The job market for tax is the same as for everyone else. The companies have dropped the base salaries across the board and are having several layers or interviews. Roles keep getting reposted even though qualified candidates (I.e me) are applying.

I have a niche - I just like my title on here to be vague.

Also want to add that I don’t want public accounting roles - only public accounting is really hot right now

Seems pretty hot on the international tax side based off the recruiters in my inbox

Seems that way until you actually start talking to them. A lot of it falls apart with the compensation and / or rank, job description, location requirements, etc.

Super hot in my experience. There’s a lot of money to be made by people at manager level and up who want to stay in public accounting.

SM3, agree thats in line with market for an SM1 in international. I’ve seen that band be as low as $150K, but $180K - $200K makes sense. Upper end of the SM band is a little under $300K. Non-equity MD at a firm is around $300K - $400K. VP Tax level is around the same (but can be a lot more depending on stock comp). Partner is $300K+ depending on book of business, firm, etc.

Partnership deal - is this a good deal?
I’m working on building a start-up. This requires an app and a website. A friend of mine has a web development company who can do the job for me very well and efficiently. He really likes my project and offered a partnership: i pay him $30k and he gets 20% equity.
He also gave me the option to be ‘treated as a client’ and deliver my project at a normal rate (about $80K), should I not want to partner.

Does anyone know if there is a modified, more condensed way to input the new K-3 information from a K-1 on a 1040 so that our staff aren’t having to input every single country’s information. Can we put it all to something like Other and then attach the K-3s or a statement saying available upon request? Just seems like overkill to arrive at the same answer, but potentially I’m missing something. Senior here and the manager is out of office so figured I’d ask the fishes!
