Hourly pay rate
I have 2 offers, one from JPMC ( LOB IS Consumer and Community Banking) and the other from Wells Fargo. Both are giving similar roles, and exactly same pay. Location is Hyderabad. I tried for revision of pay but it didn't work.
Could anyone help me understand which one is better to join in terms of hikes, technology used and work life balance. I have to join on Tuesday, 16 Aug.

Dealing with CEOs is always tricky. They always move to the beat of their own drum. If they ask a question like that, best to be honest and simply give him the information is a short and concise message. Next time, communicate the top 2 items that will be affected. He may not care. but give him the information as it's his decision. The credit lines and investors and fines are his problem. I would lead with the investors, always. That's what he'll care about most IMHO
It’s your job to get yelled at but also have to be blunt at him cause the as you said - “he’s not thinking straight”. Make him accountable too even if he’s the CEO. You’ll get fired either way.
Idk if I’m just too tired reading this, but it’s their job to get yelled at? Ya uh no. Will we get yelled at and have to eat it sometimes, sure. But definitely ain’t my job and any client that does yell at my team is surely going to be considered the shit client
You are overthinking this. “What’s the rush?” Sir, the deadline is today.
Hopefully you listed the deadline on the original email that was a few days ago. Take a step back and realize that you are paid to handle a section of the company, and sometimes what you feel is important doesn’t resonate with someone who deals with the entire company. Not saying you are wrong in this instance, but most directors/VPs feel their domain is the most important without regard to whatever else is going on.
Document everything. It won't help at all, but when you're on unemployment, you can go back and read your notes and feel good about yourself.
Hate that this is true. One thing I learned in public accounting is that you can have all the CYA e-mails in the world, but if your boss wants something to be your fault, it's going to be your fault.
The Board will not be amused by a technical default. Honestly, the head of accounting and the Treasurer should be all over the CFO about this who in turn should be all over the CEO.
There is always a fine line with whose “fault” it is. If you didn’t provide him clear information upon sending him the rep letter (because this is a very important document for EY’s CYA) which shouldn’t be signed lightly and should provide him with BOTH enough time for him to review AND. very clear deadlines. This could be on you and your knowledge of his personality and personal preferences.
Yep, getting to know your boss is a very important thing. So you can work with him and make sure he has sufficient time and notice to take care of it next year. It might come down to going into his office a month or two before the financials are due and having a conversation with him about the financials and what he needs from you to make it as easy as possible on him.
Aww you worry to much.
WTH?
Amazing how hard it is get reps sometimes 😆 these guys be doing docusign from a hut in Tahiti
When Elon musk wanted Tesla rights he sent the nicest person in the company to ask for it.
Send your nicest person to ask :)
That sounds like a difficult situation. You have to be the bigger person in dealing with the CEO and be calm, cool and collective, no matter what the CEO says to you. All you can do is explain the situation and explain the consequences of not signing the letter in a timely fashion. And then the onus is on the CEO to address this. Once you get by this year, I would recommend you be more proactive with the CEO and give the CEO a heads up about audited financials, the deadline and try to make sure the financials and rep letter are scheduled so they can be resolved on time.
Does he know the deadline?
Hopefully you’re reminding him cause otherwise you’re taking shit for no reason
