How can I exit big 4 audit to a remote senior accountant job? The jobs at good companies seem hard to find when I search on my own. Should I use a recruiter? Thanks

Ya, ask recruiter

Check LinkedIn and watch your connections posting job for a position at their company. Then reach out yourself. I didn’t find recruiters helpful

Check LinkedIn. Found my remote job there. I know a couple companies that do fully remote job like Acuity Brands Lighting and Taskrabbit. Some more have popped up since then

Hi Fishes, Please help.

I have 2 offers 1. Start up 60 LPA EM role, 40K ESPOS , 2 . Well known public listed company 51 lpa ( Lead Role) 90K RSUs . I said yes to second after some negotiation. HR was not willing to pay more than this even though it is just 20% hike from my current salary. But I accepted the offer as i wanted it badly. Now I got offer from start up as well (1) , can i still ask her to consider the 2nd offer and pay me accordingly? Or it will lead to offer cancelation:(
