Got a new job offer, really good raise and in line with what I want to do going forward. I have all kinds of feelings though about leaving EY. Any advice or things to consider that I may not have?

This is probably just a normal reaction, but I have been at EY since finishing school.

I left EY three years ago after spending almost 10 years at the firm.I left for an amazing opportunity doing a job in industry that I really wanted, that paid way beyond my dreams, etc. As I approached my final days at EY, I was sad. I had spent so many years there and had so many good friends and colleagues. But I knew that ultimately the new job was better for me.

Three years have taught me this. I am so glad I left. I made the right decision. I am still in touch with my friends and colleagues at EY. I am happier and healthier now. It’s hard to make a big change like this, but do what you know is right for you!!

I’m in international tax planning for a FAANG. If you work for any of the tech companies, you will get paid a lot because they pay with equity and their stocks do so well. Then to stay competitive on the west coast, other companies pay similarly.

It would be hard to find anywhere with worse benefits than big 4. The only bonus is vacation days which EY no longer has anyway.

Having EY on your resume will get you interviews throughout your career. Having strong references from your colleges at EY will get you great offers. Make a list of who they references might be. Between.now and when you leave, conduct yourself in a manner that will increase your likelihood of them returning a call from a reference request and sharing a positive sentiment.

So, I landed a Customer Service Advisor job at Sitel in the UK. But I heard that they fire you without any prior notice or end their campaigns abruptly, leaving us with no job. Can’t be facing the risk of no livelihood, right? Can anyone who worked with Sitel give me the real truth? And does Sitel sponsor Tier 2 Visas as such? I am surely looking for stability, security and growth.
