Bonus Watch ’21: PwC India Is Really Laying the Bonuses On Thick
As you know, the Big 4 are trying to make up for either completely ignoring or providing pathetic raises and bonuses to employees last year due to the pandemic, even though three of the four (womp, womp, KPMG) pulled in the most revenue in FY 2020 than they ever had before. It’s hard not to […]
Most People Would Leave Their Job For This Raise, According to Some Survey
It seems based on the amount of time Adrienne and I spend lurking on Reddit and Fishbowl that more people are fleeing the meat grinder that is public accounting lately than in previous years.

And I stumbled upon some updated info about income […]

With Tax Time Nearly Upon Us, Let’s Look at Some Unique Tax Service Locations
My ex used to get his taxes done in the back of the same place where he got his hair cut (no wonder he had IRS problems all the time) which I guess is a big thing in San Francisco among the immigrant set. And it's not just San Francisco. We dug up a few […]
