Tax people can become CFOs and such as well. Especially ones that do corporate work as we do much financial work than you will ever give us credit for. However, it is a lot harder no doubt about it.

Honestly, I think tax is the better career. That being said, I'm an assurance partner.

I believe up to director's level, tax pays more than audit, but audit partners make more money than tax partners. Outside of PA, assurance people can become CFOs, which probably pay better than the highest position a tax person can get to, I.e. a tax director.

@partner 1, are you referring to a PA career or industry?

Generally tax, but there are lot of specialized teams within these 2 categories. There are some teams under assurance that make more than tax

Much more*

P1 is dreaming. Grass is always greener on the other side.

Deloitte 2, it's well known in our office that senior tax partners bring in much more than senior Audit / Assurance partners. They don't have to rotate off clients etc. They make bank in consulting and provision work, not compliance.

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)?

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start? Received the Becker Reimbursement email from the recruiter not too long ago but have yet to start. I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.
