In the late stages (last three candidates) of interviewing for a Principal role at a competitor. Not to get too far ahead of myself, but if I get it - tips on negotiating base salary? Most other parts of the package are fixed to a company standard, but I think there's some room for maneuver on base.

How did you manage to interview for Principal as a Manger?

like

Woohoo, I got the job! 🎉

@d1 it's been done, I've seen people with 10!years of experience from senior consultant or manager go to principal

Depends which firm. For example I don't believe base is flexible at ours

Definitely OP is not interviewing for the Principal level you have at Big 4, where the principal title means a non-CPA partner.

I'm at a small firm that doesn't have a formal SM designation, but Big 4 would think of me that way. Possible destination company isn't Big 4 either - their Principal is most senior level below partner.

Final round interview went well. Just anxiously waiting to hear back now - probably not before next week 😬

Im currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in management. I’m interviewing currently for consulting, and theres a VC course at my school that seems really interesting but I can’t fit it into my schedule without removing the last class I need for my minor. Would not getting that minor do any harm to me short or long term? Im thinking that if I end up at consulting especially no one will care about a management minor they’ll just look at the firm I worked for.

I left a great team and high-visibility, high impact project with a client that loved me for a few more $$.

Had I stayed, I would have been festering on comp and constantly worried about my financial future.
Since I've left, I feel financially secure but listless and bored with a lame team on what I've discovered is a skeezy upsell.

Anyone else had to deal with this? Did you boomerang back?

Personally, I like posts like this one a lot because:
- it forces companies to admit, you were never out to “hire the best”
- long-term loyalty to a company is completely overrated
- it’s finally “cool” to have hard skills and focus on being really good at them

Need job advice:

I recently got an offer at a prestigious company making almost double what I make now (OTE). It is also a promotion on the job title which will help for long term career prospects.

The only downfall is I also have a final round interview with literally my dream job later this week.

The company who gave me the offer wants an answer before Thanksgiving. Do I take the good offer and run with it? Or do I roll the dice at the chance at my dream job?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
