Any BDO folks here? Keen to apply for a position and wondering if anybody could share perspective on wlb/culture? Given I'd relocate from Europe, would like to make sure I don't fall into a trap that could have been avoided ;) BDO

Relocating from Europe to the US right now might be more the trap than joining BDO. To get back to your point it depends on the state you end up in, larger city more work more resources, more interesting work. Might make sense to visit the city where you’d be living too as it’s all about the people.

Are you referring to US or Oz? Since I'm looking for Sydney / Oz.
I've spent a bit of time in Sydney already which is the main driver for me to consider specific employers :)

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon.

Thanks!
