My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Hi everyone,

Currently an SFA 4YOE was in audit for 2 years. Should i move to a Senior Internal Audit postion which would give me a 40% bump or just stay another year and apply for manager postions next year. Which would probably give me a 40% raise as well - but thatd be next year.
Current job is great in Regards to team and work life balance. Don't mind being in internal audit but not sure of career trajectory or work life balance. Would I need to stay in internal audit later?
