I am starting full time as a manager with a big 4 firm next week. I want to fit in and buy either an Audi or Porsche since big 4 tax employees make a lot of money. What do you suggest?

You need an Audi or Porsche to fit in as a manager? Are you going to drive the partners to lunch/dinner/meeting so you can impress them (the whole point of owning one)? Will you pay it fully in cash? If you finance it then it is not really that impressive. Also how much do you make because 120-130k is nothing nowadays to impress people tbh. I drove an Audi right out of college and worked for a big 4 and nobody said a thing.

Drive what you want. Trying to spend to impress people will only hurt you in the long run. They dont remember you when you leave the minute after.

How is that fitting in? My EYoffice managing my partner drives a 15-year-old Ford Explorer with cloth seat seats. Everyone in my office except one person has a “fancier” car than the office managing partner. The only reason that one person doesn’t have a fancier car than the OMP is because he ripped out all the backseats so that his dogs have space.

Audi and Porsche are too simple.
I would suggest Ferrari or Lamborghini. No financing.

Barn find. Make an impression. Finally got my Maserati Grancabrio, after 45 years in the profession and now retired. I started driving a junkyard special on my starting comp of $10k per year. Pay your dues man.

It’s not about what you make, it’s what you keep.

I am prior military and went to law school. I had a family to take care of while I was a student, hence I went as fast as possible to get to a paycheck, graduating in 2 years, and bypassing the standard summer clerkships. How could I get some experience strictly remote? I am w-2 working as an accountant in healthcare, have passed the bar and am working on my CPA license (studying starts at 3 am, then work FT). I would like to eventually hang a shingle as a tax lawyer, but need experience. TIA!

I wanted to start a thread. What vitamins / supplements / medications are you taking for your menopause symptoms? I’m supposed to take Estradiol pills twice per day but sometimes am horrible at remembering. I should be taking D3 per my Doctor but when I ran out earlier in the year I never bought more. The same goes for my multivitamin although I’m sure I really need one! I wonder if I should just use natural remedies like Black Cohosh, but that didn't work well for me.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.
