What firms do fully remote month of August vs only the last week? I lateraled as a senior associate and I thought all firms post covid did remote August but turns out my new firm only does 1 week in August fully remote, and 2 weeks at end of year (non at thanksgiving); in comparison my prior firm did fully remote August, fully remote thanksgiving week and fully remote last 2 weeks of the year … is this odd or did my prior firm spoil us? What are other firms doing?

I’ve literally never heard of this but if you’re good enough at your job you can do remote August at any firm.

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.
