I have. My first job offer out of college was a with a small consulting shop for $48k. I was ecstatic. Then that same company said if you take the same role but with a slight business development aspect to it, they would pay me an extra $2k to bring the total salary to $50k. Well, 2 days later. same consulting industry, doing essentially the same job, but with a much larger company, offered me $66k. Yeah, bye bye small mom and pop shop. The managing partner at company 1 sent me a really nasty note too “how could you do this to us when we were at the 11th hour”. Dodged a bullet with that one.

No, that’s still a very unnecessary email. It’s business and he’s whining about it.

Leave BDO and go to EY. There is nothing wrong with that. There is no loyalty in business and you always have to do what’s best for you. How long have you been with BDO?

I haven’t, but my fiancée did right out of school. She was set to work for a big O&G company, and reneged for a more tech-oriented role in a much more desirable location. The recruiter sent her a nasty email about how she made the university look bad and they may not recruit there anymore (which, lol, it’s got one of the biggest petroleum engineering degrees in the country so it was toothless). Nothing ever came of the threat and she has 0 regrets.
