I woke up regretting leaving Big4. I’ve been feeling like this for a while. I’ve been at A&M for over a year. I don’t feel appreciated and I’m tired of fighting to get a promotion this year. I would’ve been promoted at the Big4 firm last year if I had stayed. I’m more experienced than others at my level. Considering leaving the firm for similar total comp (and promotion in title), or shift in career (lower title) with higher comp. What would you do?

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.

I got a job offer at GSA in Washington DC for their pathway program from GS9-GS12. I currently work in a private company and wanted to switch to federal government. The reason I wanted to switch is to get good person for my family because I'm still in the Reserve and would be able to buy time for my retirement. My wife doesn't why I'm leaving the private company. I bought my house in Iowa and I live my family. Just need advice. Thanks

And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
