Don’t go to BDO. The firm is very stressful place to work since the firm switched to be an ESOP. In order to become an ESOP the firm set up the ESOP retirement plan and the retirement plan took out a massive loan to buy the firm from the partners. That loan is from Apollo and has massive interest payments and there’s a lot of stress being placed on growth in order to make the payments.

Need advice: do you tell your manager that you’re unhappy or do you just leave?

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲
