Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at “experienced associate” because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!

Not sure those two things are correlated but glad it seems to be working out for you and hope it continues. A lot of KPMGers have big houses BTW, don’t have to quit to get one.
Didn’t say you had to quit to buy a house, nice assumption there 😂. More so that the value/benefits being derived from senior manager at kpmg was no longer worth the “life-cost” and time spent.
So retirement > working in public accounting... mind blown lol. Happy that you're happy.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you retire? Was there anything specifically you did — or were you just in fortunate circumstances that allowed you to retire so early?
No judgement if you have a trust or anything like that haha — genuinely curious.
Thanks!
I have spent a decade at kpmg and have been extremely cautious with money spent. Additionally I have been lucky with certain long term investments and have a suite of dividend stocks. On top of that, I have a side business that runs itself and is based on a personal passion of mine (however don’t “need” to do that). And the cherry on top is a wonderful supportive spouse!
Wasnt crypto, lottery/settlement or parents.
Good luck all 🫡
I am in TX. The monthly mortage is about 3k even with your 40% down. How can you afford that with no job?
Not rich parents lol. My dividends alone pay for my relatively small fixed expenses.
I found that boutique cpa firms are where it’s at. Skip the brand rep and enjoy relaxed audit environment and undemanding culture
