I noticed at lot of recruiters are ex-Big 4 and CPAs. What’s the appeal of becoming one ? Is it just because they don’t want to do accounting anymore?

I have been offered a position at a non-US B4 with a 2 year path to partner. I know one of the partners at the local firm and have the support of the regional service line lead, and am bringing a specialized skill set they are trying to open a new business around. The KPIs seem achievable and I’ll be in charm school to help build support within that timeline. Most of me thinks a 2 year path under these circumstances realistic but my inner skeptic is jaded. Anything I might have missed?

For TCS, if anyone joins as Systems Engineer Grade C1 with 3.5 years of experience, approx how much experience is needed to get promoted for IT Analyst ? And how much hike will be given?

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.

Specialized tax 3rd year senior to financial analyst. Anyone do this? How so and where

Just found out my manager is not a CPA. I look down on him now.

Went into PA for job stability & good money. Now I realize my job'll eventually be automated & I could have made so much more starting as an engineer without working these long hours. Life's a bitch.

TWD episode though!?

Tax senior with CPA at small firm. Best way to get to Big 4 audit? (LA or OC) Went to non-target so little to no alumni at B4. I don’t mind the switch to a lower title since audit was always my preference and was never a fan of tax (stayed local for family).

Last day. Just handed in my laptop, access card, etc. I feel nothing. Indifferent. Guess I was more "done" than I thought.

I love when people say, "I can't wait for to spend my tax return." I always respond with how do you spend a bunch of forms and documents?

Got ahead in my work by working ~70 hrs the last week so my manager isn’t screwed over when I give me notice tomorrow to quit. Going to a competitor so I wanted to screw his hours over as least
