After banks, layoffs to begin at Big 4's brace for impact!

Hey! Audit manager (exp in Financial
services sector) with a Big 4 looking to
relocate from USA (been here 3 years)

to land a job/offer in SG? Also any
thoughts on the EP climate right now
will be much appreciated:) (I'm very
excited about possibly moving to SG,
but want to be realistic about my
expectations). If anyone can refer me/
pass along headhunter/recruiter contacts, will
definitely be appreciated too! Thanks!
:) (fingers crossed)

Good or bad time to head out on parental leave?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
