Is taking a 10% pay cut to move from a Big Four audit manager role, with some financial reporting experience, to a mid-tier financial due diligence manager position worth it for better industry exit opportunities?

You take a pay cut to go to 40 hour weeks or get RSU’s that don’t have many restrictions. Even then it’s only when you can’t get a nice raise doing those things.

Hi All Fishes,

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

Has anyone here started off in recruiting and branched out to other HR functions? Do you like your new role? Do you wish you stuck with recruiting?

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
