What can I expect to make as a tax manager in NYC? Coming from another B4 firm as a promo - highly paid at the other firm but not sure what to ask for coming in KPMG EY Deloitte PwC

1st Job - 90k…. Is this a good salary? Late to the game at 34. Don’t even know anything about personal finance. Basically feeling like an 18 year old over here with no knowledge of how to run my own life. Having to start over after long term controlling relationship where I was left out of all the finance stuff. So I’m lost TBH. Engineering makes sense, managing my money not so much.

After listening to the Mike Saylor podcast with Lex Friedman, it made me reconsider my notions I had about BTC layer 2. IMO ETH has thoroughly eaten BTC’s lunch from a development/dapp perspective. I’m 50/50 allocated in both because as Mike says BTC is durable digital property while I see ETH as the platform for application functionality. Would be interested to hear other’s takes. At the core of it, I’m not sure myself and others will ever want to spend BTC, even if fees were negligible.

Hello Fishies,

I am done with all my rounds at S&P Global and shared my documents to HR. No one has asked about my expected salary yet. Is this usual in their process. How much can I ask for an experience of 9 years. How many days does it take to release the offer and what is the slary structure.

What are some questions to ask in an interview to assess culture and WLB without sounding like you don’t want to work hard or put in long hours when it’s needed? And what are some red flags?

Anyone in NY have yet to see their credits extended to 6.30.21?

If your firm matches Milbank, please comment here!

When you’ve put in a lot of hard-work as a developer on a great project and received the best performance award but compensation has been same since Day 1…and have completed 2 years in the company. Furthermore no signs of compensation going up…Is it the best time to leave or stay? Additionally too many management changes have taken place that everything feels out of place.

How do you sell an opportunity to the client? What documents do you use?

SC to M, promotion in CBO.

I was promoted to SC in Aug 2020, and milestone year shows 2024 (4 years).

Is this normal I thought SC-M was 3 years and 2 for an early promo.

Can anyone suggest if it's even possible to try to get promoted in 2 years? Just don't want to put in extra effort and getting disappointed later.

Any thoughts of investing in gold or gold related instruments?

Just got reminded how I once bought my own external monitor and brought it to the office as an EY tax staff almost a decade ago. Can I hear other people's stories of their firm being laughingly cheap.

Anyone here work in public accounting, industry, and IRS (or other government dept)? Which one did you like the most

Hi Tax Fishes,

Anyone can refer me to Deloitte for A2 M&A Tax Role?

Many thanks in advance 👏🏻

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap. Seniors help is needed everywhere so if your interested, come cash in your chips!

Y’all I want to thank you for the tax discussion/questions we have in this bowl. I've been applying it to my job and it's helping. 😄 Of course, everything should be taken with a grain of salt.

Have 3 years of tax processing then 2.5 years with tax prep; passed CPA exam. What is the comp i should take? Thanks

What big firms let you get to manager and above with an MBA and/or EA for tax?

Do you play phone games during busy season?

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

First-year tax staff that started end of Q3, and just had my first year-end performance evaluation meeting. Still a blank slate in terms of tax experience, but I honestly do have a slight interest in international tax. Brought it up and I was given some names to find some work opportunities in that area. Besides SALT, any other specialized areas I should try to get some experience in? Also open to any tips and tricks to help tailor my workflow and experiences for the months to come.

Is it bad I am not extremely detailed oriented and often think wow has to be a way to automate this? Often times I need to just keep my head down and work but should I spend time improving processes?

Does anyone have any good self created templates they’re willing to share for use in the context of stock option planning?

Today’s my bday. Also my beloved family dog is getting put to sleep due to cancer. I didn’t take the day off today for either reasons. Do I have my priorities messed up right now?

I’m so stressed out I just randomly burst into tears…that’s not normal even for this profession, is it?

Anyone work or has worked at MGO?

Busy season never seems to end. Question, am I burned out or is this normal? I was very stressed during busy season until now. I sort of feel a calm sense of not caring anymore. We have extended our busy season until 5/15, but I really just don’t feel like I care...

Need advice. I may have an offer coming from a private accounting firm to be a Senior Staff Accountant very soon. While I had my final-round interview this week, a top-10 public accounting firm
