I have an interview at e&y for a tax manager position. I am from a midsize firm but i am looking to deepen my corporate tax knowledge so I believe this would be a great opportunity. I am not looking forward to the long hours that the big 4 are known for. Has anyone transitioned to from midsize to big 4? If so, what did you do to handle larger, more complex clients ? Also any other advice and tips would be helpful.

Hi DI folks, how were the hikes last year??

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

Please suggest to get some nice suits at London. I will be there for two weeks.

What kind of exit opportunities are there for tax senior? Looking into getting an MBA. Any thoughts?

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.

Have people been going through year-end and seeing sizable raises due to inflation? Or are raises being kept in check due to slumping economy?

First-year tax staff that started end of Q3, and just had my first year-end performance evaluation meeting.

Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.
