Rehmann1 and CohnReznick OP, do y'all deal with constant inability for people to understand your firm's name the first time or two you say it? If so, how do y'all deal with it? It drives me freaking insane having to say Horwath three times in a row before people actually understand that's what I'm saying. No, I don't have a speech impediment.

Thanks for the correction! Was just typing quickly while trying to avoid a conversation

@CroweHorwath1 I haven't had that happen as of yet.

That just makes my situation all that much worse... Because, no offense, but looking at your name, I'd of assumed it's even more difficult than ours

Everyone thinks I work for Raymond James when I say it. Anymore I just let it roll off my shoulders.

I agree my firms name is hard to pronounce.

I gave notice to one of the partners at my small firm last week. It was amicable, but she told me to wait to tell the other partner until he returned from vacation. In the interim, she told the other partner and he blew up. He is now making insane demands and threatening to call my future employer if i don’t meet them. Most problematically, he refuses to meet with me to discuss transitioning my cases over the next week. I am not sure what to do, and I am worried about ethical rules.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

Tax question - I make about $200k and get half of my income from a W-2 and another half from being an independent contractor. Because, I’m subject to pay both FICA and SECA taxes. Do my social security taxes get capped on amounts paid above the ~$140k threshold across both my W-2 and 1099 incomes or am I out of luck and have to pay more than that since only about 100k of my income is FICA and the other 100K is SECA (which is subject to ~12% overall including the ER portion)?

Cancel tomorrow and Friday interviews or no cancel and potentially get an offer and decline?
