What's RSM?

RSM 1 - I have good friends at RSM. We all understand our positioning among the firms, and none of us gives a shit. I know that your leadership actually sells you this business about superiority; you're clearly not anything above senior, so you're doing the buying.

I respect your pride. Don't ever let a bigger company make you feel inadequate just because they wouldn't hire you out of college.

RSM 1 - You sound like a complete idiot right now. I came to RSM from a big 4 firm. Worst decision I have made thus far in my career. Full of pretentious d-bags who think they are saving lives. The clients are shit. Not sure why you are riding so hard for a firm anyway. You are probably “Showing Potential” and will be laid off eventually with no warning. Also, how do you like telling people what firm you work and they say “Who?” because they never heard of it?

Wow guys, I'm not sure what to say. All I posted about was how my Friday night has changed so much and people start to freak out about their firms. I'm kind of agreeing that RSM 1 is either a huge troll or just has some serious issues.

The TLDR: he insulted OP for being a caring parent, so a multi-company group made fun of him, he went off on a RSM elevator pitch that was 100% reflective of how badly he is drinking the kool-aide. Hostilities ensued and he realized that no one was backing him, including other people from RSM, so he freaked out, deleted his FB account, put his two weeks notice in, and is currently backpacking through the Alaskan wilderness trying to find himself.

RSM 1 - I worked for GT for two years, so I know the market, and I've heard your bullshit about "being stuck on cash for five years" many times before. It's like a talk track for making people feel like they're actually way better than their Big 4 counterparts. Don't forget to brush, that Kool-Aid will stain your teeth.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

bizarre situation. Working w older male partner and younger male associate on precedent- setting litigation, super important to client. Client’s entire mission is this litigation. Older male partner and younger male associate are buddy buddy and blowing off all my concerns. I point out writing deficits, problems with our arguments, areas we need to tighten up and they see me as annoying and overly pedantic. Not sure if I should go to female dept chair abt this or just keep quiet.
