Any advice on how to give notice and keep my relationship with my boss? I love my boss, but this opportunity is too good to pass on. When I left my last job, I was changing specialties so leaving was less fraught with emotion. Now I’m going to a competitor’s firm so I’m worried about hurting feelings and burning a bridge.

I wrote a really heartfelt card when I left about how much I appreciated the training, mentorship and friendship. That helped a lot.

I’m totally going to do this! Thank you for the suggestion.

It went well! No tears but mutual heartfelt appreciation. Honestly I’m so exhausted now that it’s done.

I’d like to recommend crying at each other and talking for two hours about how heartbroken both of you are that you are leaving. That seemed to work for me.

I am planning to move to San Jose and looking out for salary range offered to audit seniors. I am in the middle of my CPA and just need to pass one more paper. Also I have audit senior experience with EY as contractor for 5 months and 3 years of Audit Senior experience with a mid size audit firm based in houston. Since San Jose is overly priced, I would like to get an estimate that how much EY offers in that location.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
