Intuit is one of the largest players in San Diego's tech scene, but I will never, ever work there for precisely this reason, despite the fact that they are almost always hiring/recruiting and offer competitive compensation packages.

The problem for me is that they appear to be total scumbags.

what's the range you see for "competitive compensation"?

AFAIK a "senior" dev there can expect to make just shy of $150K, which is just about slightly above-average for SD for a large company (excluding the defense industry, which depresses the average, and there's a lot of it)

Many junior devs can have a starting salary of $120K-150K and senior starts at $200K+ imo for large companies

Not in San Diego

I switched from QuickBooks to Xero. If your business isn't that complicated it works well.

I always thought the liberty tax places looked shady, but they have had a free no-income cap online filing system for at least 3 years. I've used it every year. They call it DIY tax, but the site is freetax.com.
