I got an offer at Apple for a financial analyst role. There were quite a few interviews, for finding the right team, then they offered me $120k in the bay area when I was making a similar amount in MCOL. They also kept stressing that you work a lot and need to be committed to the role. Between the low-ish pay and seemingly high demands, I declined it

Damn. That’s been my dream transition, FA at FAANG. But I guess grass isn’t always greener.

The people in those companies do not respect the rank and file accounts.

I was heavily invested in trying to get faang when I was a audit senior. I had interviewed with google/amazon/meta/uber/stripe and other unicorn startups. I rejected half of them and ended up in big 4 advisory making 200k all-in last year as a new manager (early promo).

Best decision I made i would’ve lost half my stock rsu compensation and slower progression. Straight cash was way better than getting stock at faang this year would’ve lost so much $$$ especially if I joined meta at the top, their offer was 130k with stock all in. My senior advisory offer was 120k and had a 30k bonus when I transferred, then became a manager. Faang is overhyped.

I have heard they expect B4 hours with slightly better pay. But I guess as EY1 stated above, this may not always be the case.

What neither Big4 nor the industry understands, is the message they pass: “we are bad at doing our jobs and staffing our companies, hence the long hours. We don’t invest much in process improvements or development. We don’t want to make this better”

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
