What are the odds that I’ll be allowed to WFH after completing my FLDP (the undergraduate kind, not the MBA kind)? I know people always say you’re more valuable to the company after you finish these programs but do I have enough leverage to do this (and not get fired, haha)?

Is location irrelevant? Been at an agency in St. Louis for around a year and it’s going well, but have an opportunity in Denver at a similarly sized shop. Is the better market worth it or will remote jobs continue to popularize?

Are any of the firms hiring for part time/primarily remote tax professionals? Is anyone aware of industry positions like this? I moved to industry a year ago but am realizing I’d really like to be 20-25 hours per week and WFH as frequently as possible. 10 years experience in primarily federal income tax/asc 740

There have been surprising news with layoffs lately. Has anyone here been affected by the layoffs at Twitter or META?

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
