I am currently a tax analyst for a mid size firm. I have been offered a senior analyst position at a big 4 firm with a $20,000 increase in pay. This big 4 office seems stable throughout the crisis...mine doesn’t seem 100% stable. I only want to stay in public practice for 1 more year until I get my cpa. What should I do?

Take it

I’m kind of concerned it may look bad to leave my firm after 1.5 years and then go to the big 4 firm for just 1 more year before I exit...

If it’s for upward mobility it shouldn’t be a problem

Are you a senior already?

THey'll work you to the bone for that raise but if you only plan to do it for a year I think it's worth it.

Tbh depending on how many more exams you have and what role you’ll be in, might not get the time to finish your CPA. Just food for thought.

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around.
