I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

Let’s start a comp discussion on post covid salaries and level - couldn’t find anything interesting on Reddit:
1) practice (audit/ advisory / tax)
2) firm
3) Level (Senior Associate II, Manager year 1 etc..)
4) salary (base & comp)
5) location ( NYC / Boston / SF)

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.
