I left and came back. It's worth it to stay until manager.

It's worth it to have manager experience. Don't just leave right after you get promoted.

Yes, I have. It's a different level of offers you get. I left as a manager 1 and was a controller for a small public company (still large accelerated filer). People that I knew in the same small office that left as seniors moved into senior accountant roles. I got the sense, both when I was in industry and since coming back, that it is much harder to move out of a senior accountant role and into a higher visibility position. Just my two cents.

The experience is what matters more than title. Wherever you go next, they will evaluate you on your experience, not previous titles.

You should ask people that have left public, they would probably know better

I'm getting promoted to Manager 1 on 10/1 but I think I'll get an offer for director of acct + fin at a start up in the next week. In a good spot internally but feel like it would be dumb not to take this for 2/3 years; can always go back to public. High ratings in senior years. I'd rather go partner than CFO long term. Worth it for exp? Need sanity check. Boss would be CEO.

EY 1 - I'm entering my second year as a senior in a smaller market. Less jobs I can jump to the longer I stay if I want to stay in town. I want to stay till manager but almost feel compelled to leave based on the geography. Have you found that, regardless, the manager experience at big 4 is intrinsically with it?

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?

Yesterday was my first appraisal. I was welcomed and told that I am not eligible for promotion. But then again it was acknowledged that the work that I do is great. The offered me a hike of 21% after 1year 2 months of work experience. I was initially hired at 6 lpa. I did not rebut and accepted it. What are the things I could have asked? Should I have negotiated more? What are the things that I can focus on in the next appraisal cycle? Want to know the thoughts of the experienced professionals.

Thoughts on the below role?

Got messaged about an analyst job doing the preliminary discovery stuff including dashboards. But not for the business, but to give recommendations to data scientists about where to focus.

Also worried about career prospects. I've been wanting to turn business facing, but becoming the only DA on a DS team seems like it'd be a dead end with promos?

need advice.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.
