I would recommend going in as an auditor. Otherwise, you'll find yourself as a financial analyst and starting all over again, just in a different sector this time.

There are a lot of strategic roles that people go for it. Personally I find auditing sinfully boring, but that's one route

Got an offer for Atlassian Canada - senior product manager. Initial offer is 160k base +15% annual bonus (24k) + 20k sign on bonus. RSU is 220k USD payable over next 4 years. There's no RRSP match (401k match equivalent). Considering its Atlassian, and current market rate, I think base is low. I would like it to be bumped upto to 180k. The recruiter earlier said the top of the pay range is 165k, which I feel is not really top but maybe median? Help me negotiate please; historically suck at it.
