I am considering two offers at the moment. One is with KPMG as an entry level tax Business Analyst and the other is with New York Life as a Representative in the Service department. I am highly interested in the role with KPMG and the opportunity for advancement there is but the pay is very very low. New York Life offered me 10k more so I am leaning on accepting their offer. Guess I am just looking for some insight or career guidance, any help is appreciated.

I personally would take the KPMG role - the compensation does suck from the outside point but it’s a good learning curve and looks good on the resume

I definitely agree.

If you choose insurance, you’ll stay in insurance and insurance will make sure of it

Would you mind elaborating a little? Also, I won’t be in sales if that makes a difference.

I gave her my target salary as $100-120k (I have 3 years experience in IT, 1 in IT Procurement, now a PM). She said the highest they would likely be able to go is $85k, but she would have to speak with the hiring managers.
