Anyone trying to boomerang back to KPMG or looking for a switch?

Not giving first number is a frequently mentioned tip but it’s not always good advice. I know several people who followed this rule and simply got offered lowballs with slight to no room for negotiation.

If you have some data on possible ranges, I think it’s better to give the number you want first. I’ve had recruiters say they can’t meet that and we don’t proceed, saving us both time. And if they can, then it’s less likely to be lowball.

Do you adhere to not giving a number first?

I have a rather long question. If I run out of space, I will continue in the first comment. I sponsor a GSA. There is a trans student who is always making sardonic comments in inappropriate times. We were talking recently, and every time a student bared their soul, this kid would make a joke out of it. The students who were speaking felt that they were not heard, and all of the attention was focused on this trans student.

I have a question for those at Amazon or any other FAANG organization. How does your company view transfers/relocations.

Is anyone else who works in SPED dealing with students who are coming to school sneezing + coughing, cannot consistently keep masks on, and don’t understand social distancing? I absolutely used to love what I do but I’m feeling extremely anxious about guidelines not being followed within these groups. I am high risk and so are my family members. I don’t know what else to do and it might be time for me to go, but I would miss my students so much. I’m feeling stuck! Please tell me I’m not alone?

This might have been already asked so apologies in advance, but has anyone gone back to public/advisory from industry? I know there are a lot of boomerangs out there but I mean more specifically advisory or due diligence? Currently in Assurance and want to experience private industry as either a Senior Accountant or SEC reporting role but don’t want to shut myself from these other opportunities? Or should I persue advisory first and then private accounting if it doesn’t seem like a good fit?

Ok fishbowl family - I need advice. Rising senior 1 here and realizing that I genuinely get no joy out of audit. I’m way too stressed and really do not care about accounting and have made it a life goal to never book a journal entry. I want to take the next year to figure out what my dream job is and go for it. Here’s what I like: I love talking to people, mentoring & teaching, organizing, learning. I literally loved everything in college- I was between majoring in accounting or psychology. 1/X

I’m currently S2 and expect manager promotion in 2021. Got a Sr. Revenue offer at a tech firm (non-public) in the Bay Area -

How much am I handicapping myself leaving my firm before being promoted and working a year as a senior? I’m going from staff to staff in industry getting like a 17% raise with performance based bonus up to 10%. I’m sure that raise is much lower than it would’ve been had I gotten another year of exp but I’m leaving mostly bc I’m so miserable in public. Will this decision really impact my career/salary growth all that much in the years to come?

Recently had an interview for an accounting role. Haven’t got the real offer yet but I’ve received a recruiting questionnaire and a comp call invite. Is this the call to negotiate salary before extending an offer? I’m afraid if I negotiate they’ll rescind the potential offer since I haven’t got solid word from them yet...
