My advice is choose wisely. It can be really eye opening to see behind the curtain at a lot of these startups - tons of smoke and mirrors that make servicing it a nightmare. Just because you like your sales rep/AM at a company doesn’t mean it’s a great company. Go with what you know. Also be prepared to go from getting your ass kissed to having to do all the ass kissing. At the end of the day, it’s more money and fewer hours. So if work is your life you might hate it; if work funds your life outside of work, it’s definitely the right move.

When I onboarded they told me to expect promotion to EE III in about a year. Performance reviews coming at the end of the this year and I’m wondering 1) if my salary is on par with what I should expect 2) how to approach conversations about raises and promotion with my supervisor. Thanks for any insights.

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.

Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
