What kind of bump would you expect if you were in a specialty tax group (Transaction Tax, M&A Tax) as a Senior 2 and wanted to go a competitor in SF from Chicago. This would be as a CPA.

Let's say you are making 83K as a Senior 2. Let's also say you come in as a Senior 2 at the new firm.

Do you have a $$ figure in mind? Is 105-110 realistic?

Yeah 110 that's probably realistic for a senior 2. Also depends on which firm obviously, but I dont think 105-110 would be crazy.

For context I know of Phds in transfer pricing who started as a senior 1 at 120k in SJ/ SF. But phds in TP tend to make a fair amount more than say ITS core. Dont know much about transaction tax.

FYI, I have heard that firms like Baker McKenzie make quite a bit more, like 160-180k in SF for a Senior 2 equivalent

Gotcha ok so it is possible then. I was thinking of just going to another Big 4 but if I am getting paid 40K more at a different firm I feel like it's a no brainer at that point

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
