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.

Anyone know why or a solution?

I have accepted an offer for the role of Director of Data Science & Analytics and I'll be working with old colleagues. I am very excited. I haven't given notice yet because I am waiting for the background check to complete, but my boss just asked me about traveling to a meeting in November. I start at the new job Oct 25. I'm really struggling for how to respond. If I were not leaving it is absolutely a meeting I should be at. I don't want to respond with a lie. Any dvice on how to respond?
