Ofc you can but that sounds like a pretty crappy offer. I'm a 2 yoe senior in mcol and getting offers for 110k. Once you get a busy season as senior completed, your exits widen quite a bit

I’d agree with others. You definitely can leave if you want. If your mental health is suffering and this will make you happy, please please do it. Otherwise, if you’re just tired of PA and want $$, I’d wait til Senior.

Wait and leave for much more. I'm a SA1 making 90K in audit. It's easy work

But you have a PwC brand. Lol. Work life balance and culture though!

Only if it's your dream company to work for because that jump is not what the hours in PA are to be rewarded for.

LCOL maybe

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
