Hello,

Looking for some advice on best path forward, I am currently a Cost accountant at a pretty big company based in Atl, My team is great and the people in the office are pretty nice, however the salary could be better, company feels like Im being paid market but I’ve been fending offers off for 5k-10k + bonus more. I have 4+ years of corporate experience (2 in REV acct, 1.5 in AP/AR, .75 in cost) hold a MSA, and halfway through my CPA. Any advice you can lend would be much appreciated 🤗

Finish your CPA, evaluate if you have a path to CFO/controller or whatever your goal position is, and think through if you believe in that company.
Because this is the black professional group I will give you some straight advice, don’t get complacent. Always look to move up the chain and if you don’t see that, go find it somewhere else. You may be able to sit pretty for a while but eventually if you are doing the same work you’ve been doing for years, the company will think to get a cheaper person to do it. 5-10k isn’t significant enough for me to take a major risk by leaving a company I love unless I don’t see growth. As well you gotta believe in your company as if they fail, your out of a job which (if you were complacent) may have priced you out of the market

Totally agree… Finish your CPA and all of the above.

Hi guys, I am looking for a change after 11 years serving in the current organization. I have total 13 yrs exp. with only 13 LPA as I am in the same organization and didn't switch. With EY in the HR discussion they stated 19.4 LPA fixed, but I requested for 20 LPA fixed (though the difference is not much). The HR stated they may need to take approvals and the call ended. Do you know whether they will come back? How many days usually it takes HR to come back? It's the 3rd day almost.

Hey guys, I just found this group and I’m hoping for some guidance/advice! I’m hoping to get into one of the Big 4s or MBB and finally got a few referrals once joining FB. I am 29, have an MA in IOP, and 10 YEO. I have never worked for a non-Jewish company (despite trying pretty damn hard to get out) and I’m freaking out. I have no concept of normal professionalism, strategy for navigating the workplace and the real world in corporate USA,(cont. in comment)
