Hi All,

Anyone from KPMG Global Services, Bangalore, TE-DL- DataPlatforms team in Advisory as an ETL Developer?

Moving from a boutique (<30 employees, MBB competitor) to the strategy practice of a Big 4. Have only worked for boutiques in the past, so I’m expecting there to be some major differences in terms of working style.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

Best barber shop in the West Village?

I got power and internet back last night but I have no pressing matters so my bosses don’t need to know that 🫣🤫

Trying to rid myself of ID work and get into commercial lit at big shop. I’m just about a year in, and so I was wondering if it makes sense to go to a smaller/midsized shop first then see where I’m at in 3-5 years if big law is still a goal.

I decided that I’m getting my I485 approved today. Manifest this with me 🙏🏼

Does anyone work at Airgas or have experience with this company (not available on Fishbowl)?

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

Just a quick reminder that what will ultimately save us is community. Working together. Supporting each other. Leveling up as a collective. Look out for opportunities to promote each, and in a generation we’ll get where we need to go.

What kind of companies pay more than $200k base and what practice areas? Remote or Texas. I’m a new attorney between M&A and L&E, but I’m willing to switch practice areas for the best exit options in the future (4-5 yoe).

For those of you in your mid-20’s, how often do you go on dates with your significant other? In a serious relationship for the first time since college and trying to gauge what folks consider normal for dating frequency (excluding nights in). Context - we’re 25, dating for 3 months, live 5 mins away from each other, decent WLB

Hi there! What’s the best way for a Dreamer to get their citizenship? I’ve renewed my AB 540 multiple times and would like to get the ball rolling on my citizenship.

Good morning Saints, Happy Sunday!

I wonder if we still have people who believe in God’s promises and love God as the WORD tells us” I find in David a man after my own heart” 1 Samuel 13:14! How can we incorporate this love into our school we work for? Isn’t our voice enough?

Hi y'all! Looking for thoughts on if this a good deal?

Toyota Camry hybrid for 23k with less than 50k miles on it. 2016 model.

5 years post-MBA and all my classmates are VPs in industry or Principals in consulting/IB (some are even Partners/MDs already). I sat in the same classes with these folks for 2 years — probably outperformed some of them academically. Yet, here I am continuing to struggle with my student debt payments, hoping that “Uncle Joe” forgives 20% of it. I’ll never have that kind of earning potential because I didn’t come from the “right background” pre-MBA.

I know I'm in the minority here (and I swear this isn't a brag) but is anyone else less stressed this busy season working from home, and finding issues focusing because of it? My work is getting done, but just very very slowly. I'm able to sleep throughout the night and not wake up early (which is a huge negative right now) and literally feel no need to stay glued to my computer as in prior years. Am I broken?

Just got an industry manager job at DC/VA area. What should I expect in terms of salary?

Question for senior tax managers, tax directors, and higher in public accounting. Have you seen managers or senior managers in PA hired in tax who you feel know very little for the position, or does this happen only very rarely or never in your opinion?

Any career advice for someone trying to leave ITS transfer pricing?

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?

Does anyone have any good self created templates they’re willing to share for use in the context of stock option planning?

About to quit a job in just one month of joining... what should I do...just hit the exit button, or keep a call with the Manager or the HR?

What are the things that I should say as the reason to quit so that I face the least issues.
I am just quitting for a better opportunity but don't want to burn the bridges here at the same time.

Would request the experienced fishes to help me with this. I am new to these kind of situations and really need help with how to handle this.

For those that pivoted out of a traditional tax compliance/ preparation role into either consulting , modeling , transaction, advising, hec 😆 even family office, how did you do it ? Did you network heavily, go beyond cpa designation,

Anymore rumors about PwC selling the Global Mobility practice?

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?

Anybody have any advice/insight working in Tax at CohnReznick? How crazy does the busy season get there? Are some industries busier than others before 4/15 like real estate or PCS?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

I’m so stressed out I just randomly burst into tears…that’s not normal even for this profession, is it?

Is it bad I am not extremely detailed oriented and often think wow has to be a way to automate this? Often times I need to just keep my head down and work but should I spend time improving processes?

Just got reminded how I once bought my own external monitor and brought it to the office as an EY tax staff almost a decade ago. Can I hear other people's stories of their firm being laughingly cheap.

What big firms let you get to manager and above with an MBA and/or EA for tax?

How common is it for first year associates to spin wheels? In my 4th month, I spent 6 hours doing a return with 3 K-1 royalties, 2 Schedule C with few expenses, and the usual 1099-DIV/INT, including consolidated 1099. Budgeted time was 5 hours total. I have yet to get my return reviewed.
