I am curently a tax senior at BDO in Texas. I interviewed and got 4 offers from the following firms and need advise choosing the best offer: Grant Thornton, Weaver (remotely), CohnReznick (remotely) and Marcum. The compensation is comparable but of course some are higher than others a little. My 2 reasons of leavings are to have better compensation and better hours hopefully to get my CPA exams done.
