Are you interesting for a senior role with one year of PA experience?

like

Our group will hire people in as seniors with just one year of experience but then they sit at senior an extra year or two.

Just have some enthusiasm and give good reasons why you want to work at BDO?

Why do you want to go from Big 4 to a National Firm?

There are a few reasons. The promotion itself is a great opportunity. Additionally, the equivalent group to what I’m in at BDO is smaller, so I like the idea of more diverse work experience rather than getting specialized in one specific thing.

Going to be hard to sell M&A/consulting work at a mid tier firm like BDO. Typically companies give anything technical to the big4. Just trying to help you think big picture.

I’d be hoping to learn a lot from them, as they would be pretty much be all of my day-to-day interactions and team. I’ve received an offer but have asked for another convo as I’m still unsure on culture, WLB and training etc as it’s a new team so no other people in comparable roles to talk to.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
