Currently working in industry as an accounting team lead for 1.5 years (very stable) and have about 2.5 years in public accounting.
Current opportunity: work in a startup 60% increase in my pay. Not sure if is worth the risk? Would it be detrimental to my career if they run out of funding? Not sure if I can request financial statements? What other questions should I ask? I feel very dumb and not sure how I made it this far. Can remote in Canada but company based in USA.

Hard to beat a 60% increase in pay. You will be working more hours guaranteed.

If they went under it be easy enough to explain to future employers what happened.

Not detrimental. But make sure you’ll be ok if the company does go under

Can you tell us the figures exactly? Curious cuz I’m in Canada as well

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!

Hi all got selected in Infosys, any idea what will be my take home if i get CTC of 16 lpa... The HR told my VP will be 15% so excluding vp it's going to be 13.6.. so now what wil be my take home... Any guesses.. TIA...

Had only one call with my TL in first two months. Few weeks later, on workday I noticed that my TL got reassigned. Contacted him and have setup regular catch-ups. He dropped a bomb that he is leaving and I will be reporting to partner. Partner is time poor and no feedback is offered. This is my first consulting role and I feel I am not receiving enough support. Few people are helping to learn the ropes but WFH has exacerbating the problem. How do I get a TL to receive pointed feedback? PwC
