If I’m up for an upgrade on my work phone but I’m leaving the firm do I get to keep the phone since it’s already paid for? (I’m a senior that has been at the firm for 2.5 years)

Yup. Literally did this right before I quit in 2020

I mean, your performance coach has to approve it, so it’s probably too late

Yep. The phone itself is yours from the start. It's only the service/plan that the firm pays for. I'm planning on upgrading shortly before leaving to capitalize on the firms pricing deals

Thinking about leaving Big 4 and going into internal audit (currently about to be a Senior in Assurance).

I like working on controls/SOX much more than substantive. I thought about switching internally to advisory and doing internal audit but not sure what the best move is.

I don’t see myself ever doing a technical accounting role or any financial accounting roles. Ideally I would like to transition to more business operations type of roles throughout my career. Any advice is appreciated!

Taking a new role in industry after 2 years in public. It’s about a 70% increase from current salary and between 25-30% increase from expected salary after promotion to Senior (find out later today what my new figure would have been). It’s a remote position making solid money and interesting work/field. Just worried I’m leaving public too soon. Raises will be 2-4% in new role until promotion so I will catch up in public about 3-4 years from now. Thoughts?
