What is the average number of years to make partner these days? I'm beginning to think I'm being manipulated with a partner carrot that will continue to be moved backwards. Amazing that firms are still doing this and assuming it won't cause people to leave for industry, given the extreme talent shortage that's already occurring.

Is it normal that as a manager I’m working 10-12 hours daily, even though it’s not busy season. It always seems as if there’s another pressing issue, and we’re perpetually understaffed.

I’m contemplating a move to the southeast, specifically Raleigh or Charlotte, and possibly SC. Is it the same down there where I can expect to work those hours at a large firm?

I like the work I do, but I feel like going private would make it easier to spend time with my family.

Deloitte Tax is giving all seniors and managers a $20k retention bonus to be paid out in April. Must pay back if you leave before 2 years. With market adjustments back in December, this retention bonus in April, regular bonuses to be paid out in May, and comp increases slated for June, surprised to say that Deloitte has really exceeded expectations to keep compensation competitive. Let the bidding war between firms continue to increase salaries.

Deferred basis in a partnership. If I am looking to prove out the ending deferred related to an investment in a partnership is it as “simple” as taking the initial contribution and rolling in taxable income year over year for tax basis. For book basis initial investment rolling in book income year over year. Minus any distributions for both.
