Left public after 8 years to industry. Been there 15 months. Hate the work environment although my WLB is great. Got offered $20K raise to go back to old firm. Should I do it? Love the partners; clients not so much lol.

The worst thing they say is no and OP already sounds like they have no real interest in going back so who cares??

I enjoyed my last industry job (basically all former B4) but dislike my current one, especially the work environment. I don't think I could ever go back to public though now that I've gotten the taste of sweet WLB lol. But if it helps you with your LT goals, go for it. Industry will always be here.

I don’t like how he doesn’t care about my growth or telling me things about the operation I should know. Also not answering my emails. He’s the worst. My old partner treated me like his son.

Is the firm big enough to where you wouldn't be on the same clients going back? Could always negotiate that piece in if so.

Why weren't they willing to pay you $20k more previously?

Your right but when I told them I was leaving I told them I already accepted so they didn’t counter offer.

If you left because of the clients and work life balance then that problem will still be there if you go back. 20k is great, but its not life-changing money. I’d continue to interview.

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?

Fishes, OK so this is true. Wipro is delaying the joining by half a month due to some restrictions or organisational changes & not ready to compensate for that half a month loss of salary.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
