There is speculation around ER changes in the upcoming budget session in March. If ER is abolished, will it be with immediate effect? I’m asking this because my contract finishes end of March and I’m closing my company to move abroad.
Will I have enough time or is it wise to get my company...
I'm 8 months into a contract with this client. They finally made their IR35 stance clear. Either PAYE or umbrella company. I am not interested in their PAYE for several reasons. Would moving to umbrella automatically mean I'm inviting HMRC to claim backdated tax for all of this contract? I am...
Sadly, parents don’t live nearby. I’d love to go part time, but due to the nature of my job, I don’t see many options :(
Ideally, I want to go back to work after my daughter starts school. But I am terrified of the prospect of being written off. (My friend is really struggling to get back to...
Hi,
I’m hoping to hear from someone who worked (or knows ppl who worked) for CAPCO in London. I have an interview scheduled for next week. What’s the culture like here? They have a lot of clients in Canary Wharf - do the teams follow client’s work culture or do they make their own rules...

My parents both worked full time. My sister and I turned out fine! We are very close to our parents and are incredibly proud of our mum. I’m sure there are plenty of people that had/have working mums.

Is all this coming because I’m a woman? Did you advise a man to adjust spending and stay at home to raise kids? Just asking!
My childcare vouchers come from my salary. The tax free part comes from the taxes my husband and I pay. Do you think just having kids makes my £450 per day totally tax free? Laughable!
Did you bring up your children? Or are all the people in offices childless?
When I had my daughter, I chose to be a “working parent”. I choose to teach her self reliance, independence and that marriage is a partnership - not a meal ticket. I am proud to earn my living and not leeching off my...
One more piece of info to add :
I had a call from CAPCO HR yesterday. They’d like to interview me for a position paying almost the same as the other (BIG4) offer. They are aware of my situation - I have multiple options and need to decide fast. They can fast track the process. You
Is it...
Hi,
Which of these options (in your opinion) is best for me?
I’ve been a contractor for 8years. Last year, I had my little girl - she is 9 months old now. I’m ready to return to work!
The options I have are:
1. Perm Offer from one of the big4 consulting firms - 75k
2. Contract offer of...
