Is anyone back in the office yet? Seems like post-holidays all firms have been extremely lax with in-office expectations. Wondering when this will change

Thoughts on Digitas ATL?

I read a contract from San Diego that had some very interesting language for Special Educators. Thinking about sending it to the Union to see.

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈

New York, Boston , South San Francisco
These 3 cities are good for tech job, competitive pay and similar cost of living. Where do you want / don’t want to live ? Why? 🌃🌇🌉

Hi,

Can someone please let me know how is the annual appraisal and growth in SLC?

I have gone through lot of posts in Glassdoor where existing employees are not happy with increments and slow growth.

Currently a Investment Consiltant at WFA making $62k with a $7k bonus. Both are in office positions in SLC, UT. TIA

Congrats to W+K on winning Visa creative strategy (thanks AdWeek for the news 👀)! I saw they are leading the account out of PDX office. Anyone in the know if they’ll be hiring not just for the new win but in general?

McK 🐟: are offices like Pittsburgh and Atalanta easier to get into than NY and San Francisco?

New in San Diego and want to explore the city? Me too 😂 comment bellow. I’ll send a message 🙌

Hi folks, I had a quick question around remote work. My office is in San Francisco but I worked remotely from NJ for clients on the WC. How should I answer the question, “did you earn income working remotely by providing the services in a different state than the state you originally engaged employment with it”? If it matters, I never set foot in CA.

First-year tax staff that started end of Q3, and just had my first year-end performance evaluation meeting. Still a blank slate in terms of tax experience, but I honestly do have a slight interest in international tax. Brought it up and I was given some names to find some work opportunities in that area. 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.

International tax senior associate- Deloitte

I have an interview with Deloitte next week for senior associate Internacional tax in California. How much salary I should expect? I am sure this question will come up and I don't want to underbelly myself. Currently I am a senior at other Big4.

Hi Tax Fishes,

Anyone can refer me to Deloitte for A2 M&A Tax Role?

Do you ever wish you could just go home at 6, play with your kids till they fall asleep, and then have a glass of wine with your wife before an early bedtime & sleep 8 hours?

What is dating during corona like? Is there any etiquette I need to be aware of? I stopped dating when the pandemic started, and just recently rejoined a dating app and have a first date this week. I know we both go outside and socialize with friends and neighbors (I’ve been careful and selective, not sure about him) so do I assume it will be like always?

How often do you come across Schedule F? I have prepped 3 tax returns for farmers this busy season? It’s interesting. I’ve worked for large and small firms. I never had to deal with Schedule F until now.

Anyone moved from big 4 to CohnReznick? Even worth it?

👀 Can we talk smack about auditors? Trial balances based on filed financials are still trash once it comes time to do returns, so all I’m saying is materiality can kiss my a**

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!

Be careful of a growing subculture of politics with the new leadership team in place. This is a place where it is more important to get along than to get things done.

Book recommendations? All genre welcome but I usually read nonfiction

Recommendations on emotional intelligence/leadership books, trainings, classes, coaches?

Any recommendations for a mattress? Cheaper the better (although I’d love the Sheraton, I can’t afford $$$$)

Justifying the Sheraton's painful bed to yourself because the Four Seasons don't recognize your loyalty

What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Planning to do a PRM or FRM qual. How useful is it to move from Big 4 Risk and reg consulting to industry? Finding it hard to get anything other than non-PM roles

What benefits are included in EYs frequent traveler program? How many miles or stays are required?

Thoughts on calendar being double booked? What are the etiquettes to be followed. Often people double book and it feels like “ my meeting is more important that whatever you have booked time for in yours”. If both meetings are same urgency/importance - what’s the best approach ? What are the expectations of leadership - to throw everything away and jump on to calls based on seniority ?
