Or do the majority of people come directly from a B4 audit background?

I’ve seen both. Big4 audit has been more frequent in my experience. Which makes sense since it’s a more direct/traditional pipeline

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
