Do what you gotta do as long as you’re being respectful. If someone messaged me out of the blue asking about the job and the company, I would respond kindly.

That’s awesome! I’ve been trying to do it but I can’t tell if I’m being a nuisance.

It’s not about the “No’s”, it’s about the “Yes’s”. Always be respectful but it’s never bad to expand the network

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
