Like income taxes? Isn’t it already relatively low once you factor in assorted credits and the like?

Tbh I’m more inclined to increase services / cash payments but think we agree on general premise.

This doesn't apply to me at all. I make above 6 figs but I think the very poor of our society that are struggling affording simple basics like bread and eggs deserve a better life

It’s pretty minimal at that income level.

Not true. Lowest bracket is 10%

Idk if that’s the correct threshold, but definitely agreed people whose income is already too low to comfortably make ends meet don’t need to be subsidizing wealthy people and businesses.

We should have a system where the higher up the corporate ladder you go, the less you pay in tax so you're incentived to work really hard and gun for promos

I can’t imagine you pay that much after deductions no? Could be wrong. Curious how much you pay on taxes OP (assuming you are posting this because it applies to you)

like

It almost certainly doesn’t apply to OP. Deduction is $15k. You’re going to be taxed on that other $20k.

Apparently you pay 6.3% if you make this much and are single with no kids. Goes down from there and income tax can even go negative given EITC is a refundable credit.

No.

Any tips/warnings/advice on potentially trying to move from Big 4 to either MBB or a T2 boutique firm? I’m anticipating reaching M1 in Big 4 within the next 12 months. I really like my current practice, but frankly as I eye comp across the bowl, I’m hungry for more elsewhere, even with the recent Big 4 bumps. I have 5 YOE (3 consulting, 2 industry) all within somewhat niche subject matter, as well as my MBA (non “prestigious” school however). Any thoughts or clarifying questions are welcome, TIA
