First year staff offered a job in private with a $20K salary increase....should I stay or go? I'm in a pooled program and like tax, but am currently auditing and hate it 😩

Um for $20k I'd probably jump ship. Just verify that your benefits (insurance) and PTO decrease don't cancel out the pay bump.

What will you be doing in the new job? Tax??

^ for what kind of work ? And location?

It would be a financial analyst position

Depends on your goals. One year is nothing, not even the standard two. May look like you could not hack even the minimum. Plus, in industry, say goodbye to annual raises and bonuses. Even cost of living increases be damned. That said, I have experience with few industry jobs so it's a blanket statement

Why not switch over to tax within your firm instead of doing something you're not sure you like? (I'm assuming you don't know if you like financial analysis. )

I am in a pooled program where we get exposure to both tax and audit. I did my tax rotation now am stuck in audit until July of 2017. I believe at that point I can switch to full tax.

I'm jelly. Get out while you can. That increase is huge

Being at a snaller firm, you could always be put back on audits, best to get a job at a regional or big 4 and stuck in tax or whatever you enjoy

@RSM1 I'm at a firm that's around 20th nationally. I'm pretty sure that after we have gone through both audit and tax we get to choose where we'd like to work and they let us do it if there is a need in that particular area. As of now tax needs people pretty badly. My big thing is that I like my firm, but I want to move to a larger city. I could transfer within the firm but I'm not sure if after one year that's acceptable. The job offer I got was in the same city I'm currently in so that kinda makes me feel like it's not worth it if I want to move out of here anyway.

You end up taking the job? 20k increase would be very hard to pass up imo

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
