So you’d be making more, working for a better company (in terms of resume value), and you’d likely be promoted within a year to S1. No brainer to make the jump. I did the same thing. Happy I didn’t start as a senior, as it would have been a difficult learning curve.

Making more & working for a more prestigious firm is a promotion (not demotion) imo, regardless of title. EAs become eligible for promotion after their first busy season and usually get it, unless you get bad performance reviews. 1 year for me.

Absolutely, just like big 4 people would take a decrease in level to go to an MBB firm. It’s a no brainer

Even if they do, you’ll be a higher performing than everyone else and promoted faster. Smaller firms don’t have offshore employees to take care of everything. So when you go there, you’re ahead because your the one who had to do everything while everyone else is super spoiled lol

Hi folks,

I have 8.9 years of tech writing experience. How much CTC should I be expecting when I join a new company. My current CTC is 20L pa (18.75 (fixed) + 1.75 (variable)).

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

HELP! I’ve been contacted by a small private security firm who wants me to be their “on call” counsel. They describe it as a lot of contract review, drafting NDAs, etc. but also being there if/when they need to license a vehicle, defend civil suit, etc. It’s overwhelming but sounds like a really great opportunity. I have enough background to be comfortable with contracts and litigation, but don’t want to get myself into a mess. Has anybody else ever had a job like this?
