This may be anecdotal but I've had my dream apartment search set on Streeteasy for 5+ years and in the past few weeks I've seen more inventory and price reductions than in the past four years. Perhaps the proposed pied-à-terre tax is working?

NY real estate has been held by those that live elsewhere for a few months a year to avoid NY/NYC income tax. I've started to consider this myself in the past few months because after 15 years here it feels like I'll never be able to afford my 55% effective income tax rate (not a high income just fed tax + self employment tax + NY/NYC tax + Unincorporated NY business tax) and an apartment greater than 600 sq ft.

What are your thoughts on the pied-à-terre tax and Manhattan real estate?

Hi PwC community!

I'm interested in a career transition to Investigations and Forensics and wanted to get advice from this community. I started my career in Int'l Tax at another Big 4 firm and have worked as Controller for a mid-sized hotel management company for the past 10+ years.

I've always wanted to work in fraud investigations at PwC and now have the flexibility to make a career transition. I've periodically looked for job ads online but haven't seen any in this practice area.

A few questions–

1. Are opportunities available but just not listed online? I'm located in New York.
2. I'm planning to study for the CFF. Do you recommend any other ways to prepare for the potential transition and what level should someone with plenty of experience but none in forensics expect to come in as?

Thank you!

Does anyone know the timeline once it's been approved by the board and in Unit 3?

It looks like there weren't any licenses issued yesterday and there were 2 licenses issued today.
