You're far beyond me in YOE, but your goal looks similar to mine, as I don't wish to stay till partner in consulting - hop around pre-IPO/SPAC orgs, help implement their SOX and Risk Mgmt programs, jump out once public to another org with my vested options/shares, rinse and repeat! Keeps compensation high, but likely will not require the insane hours worked by higher ups at public accounting firms

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
