Joined EY early this year as a S2. We have no staff on our team, so the past few months have been nothing but grunt work. I’m expected to take responsibility for the projects but I’m spending 75% of my time rotating PDFs etc.

I’m not growing, actually I feel like I’m going backwards in my career. Yet on paper I’m getting paid a great salary and am supposed to be looking at manager next year.

Do I stay and drive myself crazy until manager? Or do I have some self respect and go where I can grow?

Do Accenture/Deloitte/KPMG/EY do pet diem for daily expenses or actual? If per diem what is the daily rate? Just curious.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe. How reasonable is it to ask for a bump in title - Senior counsel or Head of Legal, US? If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.
