Has anyone left big 4 to become a fin analyst at a university? They could potentially pay for master’s program.

The pay is very low, at least in state schools.

I went from higher ed (only there for the free masters tuition) to big 4....university culture is horrible. Hierarchical and elitist to the extreme. If you’re not faculty, you’re a nobody. Pay is a joke, but hours are great.

Yeah I would only do it to get the free masters and then leave. Just not sure if it’s worth the stress

Be careful with that, most universities have a clawback provision of certain term

How would you approach moving back into industry after a long career break?

A successful senior software engineering career (15 years+), I took a significant amount of time out due to burnout and caring responsibilities.

Seven years on, my situation has improved, and the industry has progressed. Remote first companies are numerous, and I’m keen to move back into software development.

I would love to hear a recruiter's perspective on this situation.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.
