Debating about two job offers...
Job 1: 63k
Job 2: 61k + 3k sign on bonus + 1200 for cpa exam costs! (Both offer the bonus)
I was much more ‘attracted’ to job 2 during my interviewing, the benefits are not great (typical public accounting) but regardless I’m not sure the benefits should matter that much. Would it be dumb to take job 2? I was doing a salary analysis with an assumed 6% annually and after 2 years I’ll be even with the additional 4200. But I’m sure with promotion I can renegotiate!

Salaries/bonus are close enough that it shouldn’t really influence your decision. Go with the firm you liked more or think you’d be happier with.

you wouldn’t even notice a difference in your paychecks. Go with whatever you’re more interested/passionate about.

Agree with posts suggesting you go with Firm 2 which you seem to like better.

If you are happier you are also likely to do a better job and be more fulfilled. This likely means you will ne more focused and perform better and that means......you will get bigger raises and may earn promotion faster.

So....by picking firm 2 you will enjoy your career more and will likely earn more after the first 2 or 3 years.

Good luck

My honest advice - salary is very close and also at your level less important.

“Go with the one you like” sounds like good advice but it’s bullshit - I guarantee six months in you will hate them both.

I would say go with the better brand name so you set yourself up better for exiting in a couple years. It sounds stupid, but having a bigger name on your CV matters. A lot.

If they are fairly comparable, then I’d say go with firm two. They’re paying exam costs, which is always a good sign of them giving a shit about your development.
