Burnt to a Crisp Former Audit Manager now in industry. I had a call with a recruiter from a regional firm and she pitched a manager role that would offer a 30% pay bump.

However, my current role is at a company that’s 8x the size of any clients from my last firm (T20). Also, I’m getting exposure to SOX, FP&A, SEC Reporting. Most importantly, it’s a pretty cush job.

Still, I’m considering the role due to the raise in title/pay (Currently, a Sr Acct). Convince me why I shouldn’t go back to PA.

Don’t get comfortable, get that title and pay bump

funny

I’ve noticed myself getting a little complacent, though I’ve kept asking for more responsibilities as I get settled into my new role.

I’ll have a better idea by early next year on if there’s going to be a way for me to take on more and stay challenged.

You should do what you think is best for you. I don’t know what is best for you and don’t think I should convince you of anything.

For me, I think mental/physical/spiritual health > earnings potential. However, the difference between $120k and $155k almost has me reconsidering the priorities.

Why did you switch to industry in the first place? Think about that and decide

Yes if those were the reasons I left, $30,000 would not be worth it to me to go back.

It’s a modest pay raise for significantly more time and effort.

smart

I left PA as a manager, I would not return without a direct admit partner role… and yea recruiters have pitched them to me

I have been a phlebotomist for the last three and a half years with quest. I have over 20 years of experience. And have been trying to transfer to a different state. I believe that I am being blocked from my transfer even though my manager approves it on paper. Is there any way I can find this out. If I can't successfully transfer I may have to look for work outside of my current employer.

I have been in the US from Canada on contract for the past 6 months. My fiancé and I were supposed to get married and move here permanently in the fall. She has now called off the wedding, and has told me she doesn’t want me to move to the states. I got a great offer. Great job. Don’t want to lose the love of my life but I feel played. I worked so hard for this. She’s ripping out my heart, and taking my livelihood away. Am I wrong to not abide by her choice? Ask for the ring back?
