Can anyone provide me a referral to Yahoo?

What’s the day-to-day like for a BTS tax consultant at Deloitte? I received a verbal offer for a tax consultant position but after one of my rounds, I became weary in regard to whether this position was right for me. One of my interviewers made the work seem mostly automated and said that 99% of my job would be reviewing and not preparing; while another interviewer made the work seem like it would be similar to what I’m doing now. Can someone tell me what tax staffs do day-to-day/in busy season?

Hey All!
I have a phone interview for a data scientist role at snowflake comming up. Any advice on how to prep?
The email indicates that the call will cover my experience, motivations, and understanding of Snowflake.
Curious if other have gone through the process and have insights to share. Or if anyone at snowflake can shed light on how I can be effective.

Lol, y’all actually got your first jobs after college?! My first job was bailing hay for a farmer and I made $20/day, come to find out the $20 was actually from my dad and my labor was traded for a discount on that hay. I wasn’t even in high school yet. Must’ve been nice 😂😂😂😂
Oh and I was like 8 yo 😂
My first "real" job right out of college I started in June 2019 making 55k (hourly, ended up being closer to 65k with overtime for a full year 2020). 2021 I make 62k (hourly still), will be breaking 75k, with profit sharing this year closer to 85k. Reading through the comments I realized people should really normalize talking about their salaries, it gives others without an opportunity to know their worth and negotiate. Too many companies take advantage of good loyal employees who don't know better
Absolutely. Not openly discussing salaries only benefits employers that want to pay you less because you don't know what the rest of the market makes.
First job was in 2020 and I made $50k, now I make $90k
My first job I made $88K. I am at my first job and now make $89.6K. Lol what is the point of these besides flexing and comparing?
Got promoted: $110K now with 1.5 yoe. When do I jump ship?
I'll just keep this bounded by my 28 years in the tech industry. First job was a support tech at $22k in 1994, moved from Oregon to NYC to get into my first SE role in 1996 at $55k (seemed like a big jump but it really wasn't with the dramatically increased COL in NYC). Next pivot was moving into my first SE leadership in 1998 at $80k, then a new startup and new SE leadership role in 1999 at $120k. 10 years later with same company I was at $189k. Started job and role hopping a bit more in the 2010's moving between a high of $540k and low of $195k. For the last few years and into 2022 I am averaging an OTE of $325k.
All told I feel very fortunate and always appreciative of the opportunities I've been given considering I never completed a college degree. Gotta love this industry, it favors the bold and confident :-)
First job was $27k (in NYC! 🤦) in 2008 and now salary is $155k. Product/UI/UX designer, about 6 years experience doing what I’m doing now.
This takes me back! I was making $46k in NYC in 2006. I thankfully had no loans, but I was supporting my parents and a putting my sister through college!
Ah good times, little was enough to keep us happy! Biggest splurge that year was buying a vcr+dvd player aling with a blockbuster membership!
Some real financial glow ups up here. Glad that were documenting the reality for those who didn’t start FAANG.

First job (late 1970s) - 11 years old and I made $30 per month delivering newspapers. I worked around 45 hours per month, so I made 0.66/hour. This is around $112/month or $1,344/year in 2021 dollars.
Second job (1980s) - $3.35/hour answering calls in a contact center while I was going to college. This is around $20,700/year in 2021 dollars.
After college (1990s) - $28,000/year as a software developer for mainframe. Client / server architecture was taking off so I grew skill set. This is around $55,300/year in 2021 dollars.
Now - $130,000/year.
I made eight career pivots over 40 years. My cost of living is low (ie I don’t live in an expensive area).
I value living near family, benefits (PTO), company culture, work that makes the world a better place.

First job out of college I made $219K in my first full year. I was in a technical sales position. That was 2012.
Last year I made $230K TC
In other words, once you account for inflation, I make less now.
Don’t do product management kids. Do sales.

1st contract IT job out of college in 2002 - an overly generous $65k.
After that brief contract, I couldn't find another job in the IT field and stumbled into working in the mortgage industry.
1st mortgage job in 2003 - $40,000
Last mortgage job in 2016 - $82,000
By then I'd saved enough to make a conscious decision to do what I wanted to do, knowing I'd be starting over.
1st IT job in 2017 after my years in the wilderness - $40K
Current job - $65K
I'm at the lower end of pay for people in my position, but the experience I'm gaining is invaluable. Once I put a year or so into this job, I should be in a decent position to negotiate a substantial raise.
