Tax Senior Manager

Somebody has to be the last person who looks at a return before it goes out. At some point that stopped being your manager and started being you, and nobody sent an email round about it.

That's this seat. Senior manager tax in Pasadena, $232k to $283k, and whether you're in the office 2 days or 5 depends which firm you land in.

The client base out here is privately held businesses and the families who own them, so the person asking you the question is usually the person whose money it is. There's R&D credit work in the valley as well, and more than one firm is hiring for it at this level right now. 441 firms in the San Gabriel Valley with more than one person in them.

At senior manager the review book, the awkward client calls and the partner's questions all turn up in the same week, and there's rarely anyone between you and the partner to take the weight off a bad one. Nobody has given me an hours number at this level either, so ask what last April looked like rather than what next April is supposed to look like.

R&D credits there as a specialism if you want one attached to your name
