How are people affording to be selective with offers in this market? I’m barely getting callbacks and meanwhile I see posts about people declining offers left and right because “the culture wasn’t quite right.” I’ve got rent due, loans, and nothing but rejection emails. Is playing hardball just a privilege for people with financial cushions or better networks? How do you know when to hold your ground vs just take what’s offered?

I don't personally know anyone declining offers due to culture unless its obviously toxic. As to when to hold your ground I use the 80% rule. If I'm about 80% pleased about the offer holistically, I'll accept it. If not, then I'll try to negotiate. You can look at your most important 20 factors to get to that 80% if 15 of those are being sufficiently met.

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
