Is leaving after 6 months in public accounting a red flag? I joined a mid-tier firm straight out of uni but the hours are already brutal (70+ weekly) and I’m constantly anxious. I’m considering jumping to industry before hitting the 1-year mark. Has anyone done this and still had a solid career?

When I started working in industry someone came over from Big 4 - same story just couldn’t do it any more. I think they did have connections and that’s why they were able to easily get into our industry program and it never hurt their career. If you can, then do it

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I have never been told about a bonus and haven’t gotten one yet for the previous fiscal year that ended In July. Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
