Hi, I received an offer in Internal Audit at a Japanese bank. The offer is for 120k base salary with a 15% performance bonus. I’m a first year Senior Associate with no CPA in NY. Is this a good offer or should I stay at Big 4 for one year as a Senior?

Is it smbc?

Anyways I would see who you report into and who your managers report to too and whether the company has a traditional culture or not. If leadership is traditional Japanese expect staying late in the office just for the sake of appearing to work late and not being able to leave before your superiors until they leave.

It's not with SMBC. No it's not traditional Japanese culture. It's an American team in NY. During the interview one of the directors (former pwc) said that the hours are better compared to Big 4

Wtf fk you and congrats. Nice good for you

I would take it if the hours are good or reasonable. You don’t wanna do another busy season

I say stay

I’d be very cautious working for a Japanese company. Work life balance is not a priority in the culture. I’d wait for something better. You might regret it. Every Company will say they have better WLB than a big 4 and the hiring manager is trying to sell you a job. Also, I’ve worked for a J company before.

Go if you like the career in internal audit.

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
