Is it criminal that real accounting jobs that requires bachelor’s degree in accounting minimum don’t pay overtime that staff are forced to work? Is this basically slavery because partners get paid your overtime?

Yes, voluntarily working 2,200-2,500 hours / year pounding a keyboard for $70k starting pay is exactly the same as slavery.

I don't like it but I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say it's modern slavery. You always have the option to quit. With slavery that wasn't an option. I understand the work for free comparison. But not the same at all.

In line with my previous question…how much is your personal credit history worth to you? If you found out that a data broker that has significant security gaps buys your data (let’s say from Experian) and resells it to marketing agencies with even less security, would you care? If you’ve ever received “you’re qualified for this loan, credit card, etc. “ marketing in the mail, that’s based on the data analytics from the data broker.
