I have never once seen anyone over the rank of staff/associate post a question like this. That is not a coincidence.

It depends on where you are located and how many firms have offices in your city. There should not be any issues finding a new job in a decent size city.

I have a colleague who left as a senior before finding another job, and she was hired within a few months and is very happy working as a corporate accountant.

Absolutely not if you are looking to go into public accounting. They just need bodies. Knew two people who were fired who got jobs within months. Industry depends on opportunities.

Yes. People will look at you differently so you need a good reason

It doesn't get easier that's for sure. Definitely line something up.

Best part time data science program? It can be a certificate or micro masters, etc. I have no experience coding but have working in tax technology and want to slowly pivot out into data analytics. It would be great if it’s a program or certificate that’s reputable and can be used as leverage to pivot. Thanks!!!

It's sad that public accounting is used as a stepping stone. It's a great job, but working 60-70 hours a week is not acceptable. Just because you did it (management) doesn't make it justifiable.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
