I don’t know about Switzerland but in many tax service lines JD gets paid the same as someone who has a masters in tax, unless they’re in M&A or a JD LLM. My friend said her big law entry level salary was almost 3x her staff 1 salary at big 4. This is for California tho

Big law pays what, $345K base + 90K bonus for a 5th year? If you come in as a manager at PwC, you'll probably be at 1/3 to 1/2 of that.

STM: kind of a silly question but is a “speciality group” basically international, salt, anything but fed basically? Or is it the sub groups within those groups?

I know I'm going to take a huge compensation hit but what's the damage? I'm interviewing with PwC Switzerland.

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3.

You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?
