Once you get promoted to manager, what stocks and commodities are you prohibited from buying for independence purposes? Does this apply if you are in tax as well?

Is QEF inclusion dividend or not? Sometimes, I see QEF inclusion reported on Line 11i and sometimes on Line 6a. I think we can rely on Sec. 1293(c) but I think it’s not foolproof. My hunch is since QEF regime is tailored to treat the PFIC similar to domestic mutual funds, we should not treat the QEF inclusion as dividends. Any help is appreciated.

Hi All

Looking to purchase a 2019 Genesis G70 for 35k. Applied for Auto finance and got it approved from DCU at 4.5%.

I know the rates have increased recently but I think this is still high.

Any suggestions where I could get better rates with a good credit score and history?

Anyone ever have experience negotiating a new offer to include unvested 401k match and stock grants from your current employer? I hate leaving money on the table but there are some good roles out there. I’m not fully vested in my current 401k yet and my stock grants haven’t matured yet either. This would be at a global director level.

For the past 2-3 years, I have obsessively tracked my net worth/income trends/investment performance over time. I checked my trends just now, and OMG I hit the 300k net worth mark right around Christmas. I guess I haven’t looked at my dashboard for a month. This feels so cool. I want to shout it from the roof! I can’t really brag about this to my friends, so I’m sharing here! 🎉 🎉

Anyone use Wealthfront as an investment platform? Likes, dislikes, thoughts?

Looking at investing in FedEx and GameStop. Check out Forward PE and PEG, good earnings growth and operating cash flow. Thoughts?

Need help on how to invest. We are positioned to pay off our house later this year. Expect to work for another ~20 years. 401k fully funded and have some company stock investments maturing over the next few years, but no investments outside of that. Kids have a prepaid college plan for certain schools. Emergency fund is solid. Where should I look to start investing? I have fidelity for my 401k, would they be good to open a taxable investment account with, or are there better options?

Could filing an EEOC complaint against an accounting firm become an independence issue if you were later offered a financial reporting role at an audit client of theirs?

CPA vs master, which one is more desirable in public accounting? wonder why some ppl got cpa also try to take master?

Waiting for an offer, do they check references before or after giving offer? And normally how long after interview will I hear back?

I work in industry but I plan to move to big4 audit. My manager worked in big4 before she works here. Since my manager already left big4 can she still give me a referral for an audit position in the big4 she worked before?

I love my job, idk what you guys are complaining about...

Financial advisory seems so dull compared to cyber . I should have done cyber from day one smh 🤦‍♀️

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.

Has anybody worked on VAT team on RSM or know people that have? What is culture like? Work schedule and hours like during busy season? Any information would be helpful.

Not having luck finding a relationship or having any guys interested in me for 28 years. Thinking about resorting to plastic surgery to increase my chances of finding somebody
