I tried it...on an account that seemed a little shaky. Got a flat out no because of my level so I just planned not to spend all of my relocation bonus 😂. Oh, and I asked for one paycheck per year with the holding company...seemed fairly standard.

Yes, but it diminishes that longer I am here. After 5 years, I get nothing. Makes sense I guess.

Is a robust severance package a bit of an insurance policy for dodging a layoff? Just curious.

Yes, as they need to include it in the financial planning for the year and it can mess up the numbers.

I like my current job, company and public accounting.

Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!
