You’d think with 10+ years doing corporate tax, industry experience, heavy state and international exposure, I could get a role in industry, but no...

It is significantly harder to leave for industry the higher up you get in the consultant world. Higher expectations and probably lesser pay. Keep your head up and keeping looking. I put in my 2 weeks notice last week, but found my new job through LinkedIn. If you haven’t already, make sure you toggle the feature to say you are actively looking. Typically headhunters from there know ballpark currently what you are making so they would likely only reach out if they are willing to pay you a comparable salary.

I left as senior manager for a director role (I am also in tax). Took longer than I wanted to find the right role, so keep looking. But they are out there

Agree. I figure I have to leave as Director or I’ll never get that level if I leave for less. The political buddy-buddy battles/rewards are insane in industry...so much politics.

OP, what city are you in? Are you looking in other cities as well or staying put?

I’ll just say ‘large metro’, decent economy. There’s tons of roles, but can’t even get in the door to most.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hi all,
I had my technical round scheduled with Capgemini last week. This week I cleared the L1 interview round and HR discussion. Before releasing the offer letter they asked me to submit my documents and sent a link to appear for an AMCAT exam (English grammer and email writting) as part of hiring process . My question is based on AMCAT score is there a possibility that Capgemini would revoke my offer ? Is it an elimination round as they mentioned this a part of Capgemini hiring process?

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)?
