What happened to PattyMelt's House thread?

They'd shit a brick if they saw what my firm charges clients for my services given my experience.

No kidding. When I started with Deloitte 11 years ago, I was paid $46k starting. So, PRESUMING I only worked 40 hours wk for 48 weeks (excluding holidays/vacations), that comes out to about $24/hr unburdened for actual time worked. Deloitte I think had a standard billing rate somewhere in the $1xx range/hr.

Gotta pay those partners and all the overhead, not to mention their new $300mm training facility going up in Westlake. Deloitte is a good company and I'm glad I worked there, but I'm even more glad I'm not in public accounting anymore. It's tough work with the billing hour requirements they ask of you and having to track your time, etc.

$15-18/hr is pretty lame on that CL ad for an experienced CPA unless it's some retired old lady who wants to work 15-20 hours/week for some extra cash, get out of the house, and socialize a little bit with some other office people.

A business model with 0% operating margin ... sounds brilliant!!

Yeah, otherwise he probably would've said "how much I get paid..."

Man, I wish I got paid what the company got paid for my services.

College never taught me how to deal with my gag reflex.

Most of the "ballin' ass" members here think that's a great wage.

Ambitious fucks, arent they?

Haters gonna hate.

[slow99]

Do they pay you all of what they charge the client?

That's a terrible wage, especially if you've actually got your CPA. For bookkeeping I guess it's not bad, but not for real accounting work. Graduate-level interns and first year staffers make $25/hr at anything bigger than a mom-and-pop firm.

No No No, everyone know Barack is the original Baller... Ballers are to busy golfin' to notice an earthquake.

I was curious about that actually. In the 40s, 50s, 60s...70s..."good ole days" did the POTUS necessarily get involved and do speeches about such things?

I mean, they should be in the loop but it really should be a local/state reaction thing. If they request help from the federal government though...

edit: for the record, I'm not really sure what good POTUS folks have done in the past. I know local government tries to blame crap on the federal government, but I'm not sure that's necessarily the problem (Katrina - hard to win on that one).

The signature nulls its validity.

Not a bad wage. I know of one who works part time for $12/hr for another CPA. She drives a altima though, no lambo for her.
