Why?

University Bursar is a retirement place to go to. It will be hard to move up to the latter. I have seen most people at higher ranked there age 50, not the age discrimination here, just meaning that it is most likely you cant move up until they retire.

And bc i had worked there as an intern before, there was an empty spot for a good title but they didnt move people up but look for someone from outside instead.... of courses cases are different, just so you know if you do want to settle down there until retirement then it is a good place.

since you are in big 4, you know the amount of manager and partners, compare to if you go there, it will only become a small team of 20-50, hardly to make your way up to the latter just considering the math.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot.

Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
