Got an offer in accounting advisory services as a senior role at KPMG. Pros and cons comparing to audit? And what are the career path/exit opportunities that I can have after that?

Any reason in particular that you declined the offer?

More earnings potential, more ambiguity and gray areas, more decisions with less information, more art than science. Consulting advisory can go anywhere after.

It’s a nice opportunity. Was also offered a role there. Have a few friends there who had some pretty good things to say about it.

I think I'm really bad at communication, storytelling, active listening etc. I'm good at 1-1 relationships, but really bad in 1-many scenarios. I just sound stupid often. Feel like I'm surrounded by people who communicate so much better. Has anyone improved their comms skills as they progressed in their careers? Any tips or courses that helped you on the way?

Best HYSA with a good account opening bonus?

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
