Hello, I am a Staff 2 in EY. My current salary is 26.5k EUR (I work in Italy) in apprenticeship. In March/September I should be promoted to Senior.

I just received a job offer for the transaction services financial due diligence division FDD of Mazars

They offered me a permanent contract with a salary of 31k EUR.

What do you think I should do? Wait until senior in EY or accept this offer?

My fear is that if i go to mazars they won't make me senior in a year and that my resume will lose appeal.

How about:

So I would say try to negotiate that you want a senior role and pay at mazars. Do not believe any promises or that you’ll be put on a fast track or w.e they want to sell you to get you in. They either give you the position and money or not. Now while I say that I say have a good reason to give them why you believe you qualify for a higher role. If they decide to pass on you then wait out until you get the title at your current place and then if you’re still unhappy leave. However at least by then you’ve already have been given an answer at Mazars and now qualify for a higher paying role.

I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?
