Good luck at your new job. Call me strange, but I like tax season, atleast up until the very end. There is always something to do, where as during the rest of the year, we have some slow periods and once in a while I don't have anything to do except work on my continuing education, but I still get paid for it. I also love the overtime pay during tax season and the tax season bonus. I'm sure it is not as big of a bonus as larger firms give, but for a small firm it's pretty good.

What size firm is it that you are starting with? It definitely sounds bigger than where I work because we don't have departments, I do a little of everything. But again, good luck.

It means that experiences and locations are the big PART of deciding your annual salary...

Well, I do not have much information on state ohio. but the number seems pretty much reasonable. If you are not currently work for the public accounting, i would definitely consider accepting the offer.

anyone from OH, please share your comment...

Thank you for taking your time replying to my post, but if you were me, should I take it now, or wait until I am done with all my sections to be taken, for me that is the big con here. I am really confused. I am afraid I wont have time to study anymore, the other side of me though wants to take it because it is a very good start. I dont know.

Thanks everyone.

I know it may be hard to study if you take this job. One thing that may help you decide is to consider the fact that this is the time of year when firms that do alot of tax work start hiring, right before tax season, then afterwards the hiring usually slows down, depending on the size of the firm that is. I guess if it is a big firm, like big 4 that seems to hire mainly for auditing, the jobs would be there year round. But otherwise, a similar job opportunity may not be there later. Just wanted to share my thoughts on your question.
