Got a job offer from MGO for a 50% increase in pay. I already feel underpaid and overworked.
I’ve seen some really positive things with the firm and really negative things. I’m looking for other perspectives and any information in general if you currently work for the company.

For a 50% increase in pay there would have to be a lot wrong with that new place for me to say no. Lol

Do you enjoy working 15hr days for narcissistic assholes that lie to the employees about everything? Turnover was over 100% a year when i was there not long ago. Also didn’t get a raise the entire time i was there. If you like doing mediocre work for a sub par firm and don’t mind kissing your service line leaders ass daily cause of how great he is then you might do alright.

If you feel underpaid and overworked, that’s not going to change. Might as well get paid for your work.

Have you tried big4?

No, not too interested in going bigger than RSM

If reviews tend to be negative then I would believe the higher 50% pay increase is due to bring in new talent. Only one way to find out by joining. You may find it’s a good fit.

Alternatively less pay and a smaller firm with great culture could be your thing too.

So you plan to make an informed decision by telling those with negative opinions to go away? I would think you would want to hear good and bad. Also what is MGO?

Could you give any insights on transaction advisory practise at RSM? How is the overall culture, wlb?

I’m a mid level engineer and my team is overwhelmed. There’s more work than we can complete in the timelines that leadership/product has committed to, which is causing leadership to override technical decisions seemingly to meet those deadlines. An example would be routing all live traffic to a feature which was not fully tested, instead of waiting until testing is complete or having that change be dormant and the feature enabled later. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue?

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around. Has anyone felt like they got held back from jumping firms every 2-3 years for the salary bump? I know peers that bounced around 2-4 times in a 7 year span and they are making significantly more money than if they stayed at their first job, however it didn’t seem like any of the new companies cared that they bounced around. Other experiences?
