Hi All, im looking at jobs in industry and there’s one a recruiter sent my way thats for Sr tax accountant at a hedge fund, pays 120k for senior accountant plus signing bonus, 2-3 days in office, but they said average weekly hours are 45-50 hours. Does that sound accurate or something they’d say but hours more likely to be around 40ish?

I’m at a hedge fund now and haven’t even worked a full 40 yet (was there through spring busy season). I think it can vary a lot by company.

like

Hopefully there’s a bonus on top of the 120k base otherwise you may be underpaid. Hours will spike during K-1 and compliance season but year round, probably sounds right.

like

Yeah, plus bonus

You can ask more about wlb at interview. I backed out half way from a HF interview due to the wlb they told me about.

like

Hedge fund works more. I would say 50 hrs is kind of light even for them

Companies know way more people prefer to work less hours. Why would they advertise more working hours than actual?

So that when the occasional 50 hour week pops up the expectation is already there would be my thinking…

Does this company starts with a N?

Lol no

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
