PwC vs RSM in ATL? A little background on me: audit senior for 3+years on private practice only, wanting to leave current firm before busy season, I’ll probably still work on the private side after transitioning to either firm and would like some work/life balance cuz I have young kids to take care of. Will have chance to get promoted to manager in 1~2 years.

Pwc if you want to work on public clients and are open to traveling to our large clients once pandemic subsides. Rsm if those don't work for you.

PwC 💯

RSM will be more or less the same as BDO

Neither firm will have great work life balance but PwC will open up more doors down the line

To be honest I think I’ll stay in public accounting as I do have some sort of passion for it, so opps to exit out is probably not my concern. But you definitely have a fair point that neither firm have great work life balance🥲, but relatively I think RSM is a bit lighter on workload than PwC.

Hi Fishes,
Need help with a tax query.

I am earning 85k/month now. Thinking to purchase a land of around 15L, not just for investment but to build our own house on it in future.

Though I can somehow manage it without taking a land loan. But I was wondering if I can take some to avail tax benefits.

So my doubts are - Can I avail tax benefits (like home loan) before construction? If I take the loan just to enjoy tax benefits then how much loan should I take at most? Have only ~68k EPF in 80C
