If you switch between big 4, do you get blacklisted from the big 4 you left? Say you left as an senior for a manager position. Would you be eligible for rehire as director 3-4 years later at your original firm? Do your previous colleagues feel like you’re a sell out? Do people judge you or feel like you’ve abandoned the firm? Deciding if I should jump ship after 2 years for title and salary bump. Thanks!

No blacklisting. Firms have better things to do.

If your practice lead/partner takes your leaving in a negative way (for example your team is short staffed and you have a key role in an engagement as you decide to quit), then it’s definitely possible they will hold a grudge and not allow you to return to their team.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
