I'm currently a S3 at Big4 in LCOL. I got an offer from a local company for an accounting manager position and I also got an offer from Amazon (I'd have to move to Seattle) for a Senior role even though I interviewed for a manager role. They want me to to come in as a Senior and make manage internally. Both pay the same amount. Which one would you choose?

Amazon doesn’t normally hire someone for a manager role if you are a senior. Hell even if you are a manager they probably will still hire you as a senior.

Stay local and move up within that company.

Will Amazon help with relocation costs?

Not that big of a difference and Amazon is going to cover relocation. My concern is remaining as a Senior at Amazon when I could be moving up to manager.

Congratulations! How was your Amazon offer presented? I’m waiting on results from loop interviews.

They set up a Chime call to tell me that they want to bring me on as a Senior instead of manager and gave me a few days to think about it.

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
