I was promised that we had an HSA option by the recruiter when I was hired and then have recently gotten into a pretty nasty fight with the HR manager about how that was never something that was offered and shouldn't have been discussed and was the recruiter's fault etc. Has anyone else been lead astray like this by a recruiter??

Honestly this is one reason I absolutely never trust the recruiter to do anything but hook me up with the hiring manager at the company. Things like this have happened too many times to me.

I mean it’s not HR’s fault, but in the future requesting a brochure on the benefits would’ve cleared this up if an HSA was a big dealbreaker for you

Absolutely. By any chance do you have documentation of this promise? I try to have benefits restated in an email if it was mentioned in a call.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
