Interviewing for senior roles in NYC and going through as many as 4 rounds of interviews, each round meeting between 1 to 4 people... is this normal?

No

And anyone here that says it’s normal is a liar

The most I’ve done (and this was big 4) was one round with 3 people back to back.

And a 2nd round with one last person.

And that was the first time I got a job at big4. After that I never did more than one round with max 3 people.

That’s not true. I’ve interviewed with all four big four as a senior back then. KPMG and EY both did four people. PwC did three. I got all three offers. Failed Deloitte at round 2 but interviewed with Deloitte one more time as a new senior and they had four people.

Yes

Tax or audit or other ?

Has anyone successfully sold your gently used clothing for cash on the spot anywhere in Chicagoland? If yes, where? Have a lot of nice stuff that I’m bored of but Poshmark takes too much effort for me and I find consignment stores usually take months until anything sells and then getting your money is a pain. So looking for instant cash. TIA

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?
