Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at “experienced associate” because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!

I have 4 years of experience as an auditor. My total compensation this year has been decent, but it fell slightly below my expectations. I was hoping for more from my bonuses.
Comparison is the thief of joy

That’s awesome! I was MCOL 12 years at EY and only making 160k (always high rated too)… I left and after 2 years I’m now at 240k, but I’m in a specialty tax. Did you move around a lot? Just curious since I think I got screwed over for staying so long in 1 place.
