Also incorrect 👆🏻Bonuses are taxed one of two ways. First, as supplemental income which is 25% flat rate and then they are also subject to state, social security and medicare on top of that. OR second, they can be added into a paycheck and taxed normally.

Would it be difficult to get a job in IA if most of my experience has been auditing private non-404 asset mgmt funds? I really enjoy process walkthroughs when I have them though. Also, does title matter that much in IA? I’m a manager now, but based on job descriptions it looks like I might have to go for a senior auditor role because audit manager roles generally call for 8+ years from what I’m seeing. Can title be negotiated?
