Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.
So here are my questions.
How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.
When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Startups sound like a nightmare, atleast for what I’ve learned my preferences are. You’re definitely tossing the dice that one day the company will be the next big thing and you’ll cash out a multi-millionaire when they IPO but I bet more often than not they take forever to grow to that place or crash and burn before they do from being mismanaged.
It all depends on what your risk tolerance is but personally I’d rather only work for established companies that have grown out of a start up phase that have the structure in place to set you up for success. You’re still going to be guaranteed a high salary at those jobs and your work/life balance and quality of life will be much better.
I made the mistake of leaving a great Fortune 500 and now I’m stuck.
S/N: Any entry level people reading this DO NOT leave an established company for a startup unless you just can’t deny the reward lol
How long have you been there and how much do you believe in the company? Not knowing the valuation or your vesting schedule I’m going to guess it’s 60,000 shares over 4 years with a one year cliff, so assuming you’re lukewarm about the company potential maybe stay to the one year mark so you at least get 1/4 of those shares?
But hey two years vested is better than one. So you can continue to reevaluate this.
It's not that weird to bring in a dept head without consulting team. There are a few hr-ish reasons companies do that, so try not to read into that. You have to figure out how the new lead feels to you, though. Do you like them? That's something only you can figure out.
Is the startup at a mature stage, as in, actively looking to IPO or seeking investors / buyout within the next 2-5 years?
If not, your shares are pretty much worthless, especially if you don't see yourself staying for another 2-5 years (or however long it might take them to IPO).
Personally, I would leave. Design as an afterthought is a terrible feeling, and can lead to very bad frustration and burnout. Startups can be fun if you're playing a very active role in shaping the product strategy and company future, but if you feel like your work is constantly viewed as unimportant AND your shares may not be worth anything, it's time to go.
