SM in tax. Planning on going to a local firm to avoid outsourcing and PE. Not interested in being partner with 75% of my team in India.
Sounds familiar.

Things have totally changed. Used to be a stand out employer among accounting firms - can’t really overstate how good it was. Now longer hours, depleted teams, high turnover, high-stress, and dwindling culture are negatives. Positives are relatively good comp at many levels and there are still some great partners and staff there from the pre-PE days.
This is a fair assessment. I am quite happy with my current base comp as an SM, and quite unhappy with my local office’s ability to hire and staff our teams properly. Leaner and leaner every year - I do not think the gap will realistically be made up by pushing more to India and AI (when the people at the top pushing AI solutions don’t even know what tf they’re talking about lol)
