Got an offer from Sigfried, if I join the total package (inclusive of bonus) would get me 40% income increase.

As a second year staff, would it be advisable to jump or stay in public for a couple more years?

Some people are just sour they couldn’t get an offer with them. They pay very well, and they work with massive clients - which is great for your CV as long as you know how to market yourself.

Meh

If this role is what you want to do, I say go for it. Staying in public will guarantee you more long hours, late nights, and toxic managers/clients for the promise of maybe having a better opportunity come up eventually.

Honestly everyone I know who left for Sigfried wanted to leave their firm ASAP and couldn’t find another offer quickly. They all hated it and kept looking until they found a more permanent gig.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely different work for each client depending on what they need, but it’s amazing if you’re still in public and not sure which accounting avenue you want to pursue. Plus, it opens up plenty of doors.

Depends on COL, but you’ll probably be in the 100-120k and then our bonuses are in the 30-50% range.
