I received 2 offers and very conflicted. One is fully remote 150k all in fund admin fully imbedded into one client (option to go to their office) but the other is at direct fund 184k including profit sharing and bonus it’s just 3 days in office and only 15 days PTO. I’m used to having unlimited and taking as many days as I want, so this feels a bit rigid. I already worked at a direct fund after big4 so I have that on my resume. Which would you choose? I really do value flexibility. 28 yrs old

Remote for sure

I think that it depends on your career path. The 3 day in office role is conducive to networking and developing good relationships (hopefully) that will help you in your professional journey. Remote is amazing but 3 days sounds pretty reasonable. You may not even end up going in more than 2 days, many times they will let you have a more flexible schedule after the first 6 months. Profit sharing, bonus, more money - save it all up for a year and then switch to a job with more days off and you can use that for a really nice vacation. Just a thought. I wish my options were anywhere near yours, I have been doing this for 15 years and the job search is difficult for me. Good luck with your decision, I trust you'll do what you think is best for you and your future. All the best from this former Director of Finance :)

Thank you for the insight it was really helpful!! I ultimately I decided to go with the remote job- they bumped the salary up so that there’s only a 10k difference and I asked if it’s possible to go to the clients office once a week for the exposure and the said yes. The client is a much smaller shop and I prefer that too. I’m also not so career motivated so I kinda just need something to support my life outside of work. Very excited for this!

Good news, those are two very solid offers. Valuing flexibility, you’ll get a lot more of that with the remote role. Salary ceiling comes faster, but your time is money, too.

I would personally take the role that is fully remote. I really value work-life balance, and working from home must provide that in a way that working in an office can't. Congrats to you on two solid offers, though!

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
