Need another Q&A with EY's Wendy Edgar....today's topic "transparency"

I have been in cyber security as an architect, engineer and professor for over a decade. A new hire got 2.5x the bonus and my peers all passed me. I was a top performer on my team, managed to keep my staff employed and blew away expectations while growing the business.

I have an offer to join a startup in a field that is not tech driven, and there’s a ton of room to do wildly innovative work. It’s moderate risk high reward , but the concern I have is that I’m not in love with cyber anymore.

Listen, it’s really easy to criticize the way the cops handled Uvalde

Any game recommendations? Used to play OW, HS, LoL.

Should I buy a house now or in the Spring?

Hi Fishes!

In search of roles in Data engineering, I have gotten the following offer-

I want to resign from the current place I’m working at. I plan to pursue higher studies (LLM), for which I’m already admitted to a university, in the field that I’m working in right. The notice period at my current firm is that of 3 months. Please suggest as to when should I tender my resignation in order to get a small vacation period as well as the full salary for the months I’m working for

Can you please share you experience with yearly reviews. I am currently working at a large ID firm. Are the yearly reviews easy. Thank you.

Has anyone used Trader Joe’s shampoo and conditioner? What are your thoughts?

Used to rejection and I don’t let it get me down, but with the job market being the way it is—should I put my plans to get into tech on hold? I was thinking maybe construction sales or even possibly recruiting. I’m hesitating because of the nitpicking from HMs and recruiters for “job hopping”. Do I stay the course and make a move into tech for next gig or wait until things stabilize more? It’s really difficult right now with the candidate pool being so vast in tech.

I'm in my early thirties and i feel that I'm not financially literate enough and don't want to put money in the stock market. It seems like a gamble to me, although i really wish i knew how to make money grow rather than let it sit in my account where i know it's losing value

Looking to move to London (international move) at the end of next year and wondering if anyone knows of any teams/firms that primarily do ODD work? I believe S& Deals primarily do CDDs and DDV primarily do separations.

I do a lot of ODD work now with a mix of CDDs and separations and looking to focus more on ODDs when I get to London. Open to moving away from S& / PwC if needed.

Thanks!

Hey Fishes,

Are MBA interns offered Associate or senior Associate roles (for IIMs) as PPO for Strategy? Also, any insights on the comp structure?

When changing jobs, how should I evaluate the salary change if I am switching from a HCOL to LCOL? Seems crazy to accept a pay decrease in this market but not sure if it’s really a decrease after factoring in the COL. Going from B4 to industry if it matters.

Never been skiing before...where do you put your stuff (wallet, phone, etc)? Does everyone typically carry all of their things in their pockets or is it common to wear a backpack?

Trying not to look like an idiot newb or be carrying things that are in the way.

Now is a great time to start your own tax firm even if it’s just friends and family.
1. Obtain PTIN if you don’t already
2. Register your firm with your State
3. Obtain your EFIN
4. Obtain an EIN
5. Get Drake Tax or whatever tax software you want
6. Get QuickBooks Online Accountant

I wouldn’t charge anything less than $500. I would only charge less if it helps you gain confidence or you just want to. Yes, I’m sure it’s against company policy but it’s your friends and family.

Do the big 4 and BDO/GT/RAM have similar benefits?

Question: I have a client who started a restaurant. He leased the land and bought shipping containers where he spent money contracting out to turn them into bars. I’m having a tough time determining how to depreciate this! First thought was leasehold but he’s not making improvements to a structure...he owns the structure! But nonresidential real estate at 27.5 years doesn’t make sense either as it’s not a brick and mortar building. Curious on others thoughts! TIA

Do you guys think tax is a very specific kind of knowledge? So you can be a manager and be fluent in corporate tax, but if you were to transfer to say international or estate tax team, you are no better technically than a senior?
