Currently, working in PE and got an offer from one of the big 4 firm. I wonder they are offering me lower than current salary and I also needs to relocate. Should you rather go for the other PE company in the same state?

I have no idea what you are saying? Is there a second offer?

I offers think you should but offers shouldn’t if you want to relocation with salary

Put it in b4 terms, associate, senior associate, manager, etc.

Lower than current salary and if you still go

Depends on what your career goals are. If your end goal is to continue working in fund accounting, then you probably wouldn't benefit from audit experience. But if you're trying to pivot out of fund accounting, this seems like a good restart.

I want to remain in this field, but I’m wondering if having experience with a Big 4 PE team would be worth it for my future career. The role involves transferring for the same type of work

If you plan on staying in fund accounting, no point on going big 4. Use ship jumping to increase your salary which you'll need to do every now and then.

Why would you take a lower salary to relocate if you don't have to?

Sorry I was in a hurry before the meeting start :
I am currently working in private equity (PE) and recently received an offer from one of the Big 4 firms. However, their offer is lower than my current salary, and it requires relocation. Would it be better to pursue an opportunity with another PE company within the same state instead?

You’re just gonna work more and get paid less. I’m assuming it’s in audit which pays the lowest.

If you want to pivot out of your industry then getting into a B4 firm would be pretty helpful.

It’s just gonna suck to go from industry to PA

Why is the Big 4 paying so much less than I expected?

What is your opinion on adding a career in the Big 4 and then transitioning back to private equity? I love working in PE industry but I think my resume is lack of big 4 accounting path.

Big 4 is not the be all end all

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?
