Did a one week contract gig between jobs - should I put it on my current background check for a big 4 or not bother? Will it show up later on?

Put it in the background check, but not the resume.

It won’t reflect poorly that I was laid off after a week when they call to find out??? They didn’t need me there anymore

This was earlier this year. I lost my job in March and took up a contract gig while interviewing other places, but that gig was only a week long.

Yes

Yes as in I should list that I worked there? Even if only for a week?

There is no way for the employer to find this information if you do not disclose it, assuming that your new role is not working for the IRS.

Ask your recruiter

How does it work at McKinsey / Bain ? Do those same distinctions exist across partner types, owner vs non owner?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
