How often do jobs hire you for one position but once you get there tell you you have a different (worse/ less senior) title? It’s happened to me twice in a row in the tax field.

The title should be on the offer letter, the role can differ and its common

My title was in both offer letters but when I got to both they changed my title to assistant.

Lol I got a higher title

I’ve had the lower title happen at the end of an interview once and at the time of an offer another time. Both were attempts to get me cheaper. The first was an industry position that thought I was a lock to accept (I would’ve if they hadn’t pulled that). The second was a jump to another Big4 in a completely different field, so it was somewhat justified. I declined both.

Firms will send you to practices they need bodies for and think your skills will be useful.

If you don't like it, tell them which one you want to work at and wait for opening.

That’s kind of messed up. Did you not ask them why?

What are you doing vs what were expectations?

Same expectations just a different service line.

This just happened to me in Fund Accounting, letter said Associate and first day on the job my position was Analyst. I have 12 YOE, 2 in Tax (USA) and 3 in Fund Accounting (USA). I am leaving, took a job somewhere else. This is a small Hedge Fund, I have been wanting to leave since day 1 when my job was pretty much clean the office and work in a construction site for 2 months straight. In my experience, this happened because this is a small shop but Idk. What I found the most interesting is why do you need a CPA to this job? and why would you pay someone $85k to do what's basically administrative work. First time this has happened to me, though.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

Trying to determine if transitioning from my current role as a Manger, Strategy for a ~100 person Fintech working directly with the C-Suite to a Senior Product Manager at Amazon would be a lateral, upward, or downward move. On one hand my comp would go up and I’d be in a bigger org with defined growth, on the other, I would lose the exposure to executives and influence over our corporate strategy. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated! TIA!

Whatever happened to P5M at PwC?

Did tax ever reduce hours by the 1M or whatever the goal was?

Did associates and seniors tasks change to more consulting base vs compliance focused?

Did the hours reduced ever result in more work life balance with the capacity freed up or did volume of repetitive work just increase?

Did anyone that existed during that time feel the difference from the time invested?

Genuinely interested since it’s been a while since I worked there.
