I work in accounting advisory and generally enjoy it. I'm constantly learning and each day is different. Example projects are new standard implementations/refresh (i.e. they didn't do it right the first time), FS preparation (including footnotes), debt/equity evaluations of stock awards/warrants, business combination evaluations, IPO readiness, IFRS-US GAAP conversions (to or from). I've also had one-off items like documenting application of non-GAAP disclosures to the client.

I did similar work in technical accounting advisory and enjoyed it. Adding on drafting memoranda, ASC 840/842 evaluations, accounting for cryptocurrencies, and evaluating policies for leases, internal-use software, and PP&E.

The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Hi Everyone,

Need your valuable insights. Having an YOE of 11 years and offered TechLead position with a CTC of 30 LPA (28.5 LPA Fixed) a month ago.

Though their WLB and culture seems good, I kept feeling that I am being lowballed which pushed me to give further interviews.

Received another offer for same role from another PBC for 35LPA (33 Fixed). Is it OK to ask the first company to revise the CTC (up to their best) where the DOJ is in 10 days?
