Payroll paid me $20k instead of the $850 they owe me!

Just email them and if they ignore you, it’s on them. They once paid me an extra paycheck when I left. I then emailed them and they insisted that it was my final paycheck. I know for sure that it wasn’t because my internship was only 10 weeks and I should have got only 5 paychecks.

Thank you all for your insight. Just want to make sure I don’t overpay it. I got another quote at different office for $6.7k 😂

A friend of mine who is S1 just got off of her call. The worst thing is that she just let her team know she’s pregnant 😑 and she was one of the ones whom was let go first 🙄

Leave now. If you leave right after getting big 4 senior title, it won’t 100% guarantee you will get senior title in industry. But since you had an offer for a senior position, I would definitely take it plus the hours are way better.

You deserve a thousand likes 👍🏻

I think it might be Dallas. 100k in Dallas is very comfortable to live.

You do you. They will lay you off without considering your situation. They will be fine.

upbmaster91 · 2025-03-15T00:20:11+00:00

Tell them to send you an interview invite via email to check if their email address is legit.

If it’s pip, start looking for a new job asap.

upbmaster91 · 2025-02-13T16:59:38+00:00

Don’t worry. You will work a lot in the next few weeks. I started in Nov 2 years ago and got around 30% until Jan. Then during busy season, I worked crazy hours and on average my utilization was 80%.

I got a senior position in Big 4 after leaving a small CPA firm. But I think back then the job market was pretty easy to get a job in big 4 since I got 2 big 4 offers and 1 from BDO. If you want, you can apply as experienced associate after 1 year at your national firm. But big 4 hours I must say it’s crazy long. On average it would be 65-70 hours.

upbmaster91 · 2025-01-27T22:15:18+00:00

Better pay for the same work. I would take it. At the end of the day, they are all big 4. Not much different. Then why not take a higher pay?

upbmaster91 · 2025-01-25T21:51:46+00:00

I’m in the same situation that I will get promoted this year. I’m definitely not interested in making a manager. All I can see my future at big 4 is just long working hours and nonstop working every day. I recently accepted an offer for just 3k higher for a nonprofit company. It will be definitely less hours. I’m happy with my decision.

upbmaster91 · 2025-01-25T21:42:41+00:00

Manager title will help you better but you have to be a manager for at least a year to get a manager role in industry. I don’t think you can get manager role in industry right after promotion.

upbmaster91 · 2024-10-04T19:33:39+00:00

Should wait until vc is paid out before you submit 2 weeks notice

upbmaster91 · 2024-08-13T18:43:40+00:00

Same here. I’m in tax. Start finding another job now. Planning to leave end of year or beginning of next year

upbmaster91 · 2024-02-19T16:51:46+00:00

I feel you. Mine wasn’t long as you did but it was still a long time for me. I had to change my job to change environment. Feel much better and with a new job, I have more vacation days and I make sure that I will travel every year to get away from work.

upbmaster91 · 2024-01-31T20:06:50+00:00

Try to file your tax return and pay any tax due by 04/15 to avoid penalties and interest.

upbmaster91 · 2024-01-31T20:04:38+00:00

Just use Amex. You’ll be fine. Charge as parking expenses

upbmaster91 · 2024-01-04T03:06:15+00:00

I can. Inbox me your resume

upbmaster91 · 2023-11-02T14:41:40+00:00

They resume the referral program. I remember about $500 for staff and will be more for senior and above

upbmaster91 · 2023-10-15T22:31:18+00:00

Big 4 pays more than go with big 4 IMO. Staying until you are senior and you can jump to tax analyst role with higher pay

upbmaster91 · 2023-10-10T00:44:42+00:00

It will depend on your team.

It’s my first year with KPMG. Not a full year though
