Recently left big 4 for industry and looking to subscribe to a tax research platform. I’ve already looked into Checkpoint, and it’s a bit pricey for my new employer (more than $10k annually for 2 licenses). Anyone have suggestions that won’t break the bank of a small company with a small tax department?

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.

Or is it more engineering?

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
