The salary is terrible, but getting a job at all was a priority obviously. And getting rid of a 3 hour round trip commute is life changing. Just go in with a fresh and eager mindset. Now that you have an income again, you can casually look around if you end up feeling unhappy.
And use that commute time to work on yourself. Join groups, daily walks, exercise, learn to cook. PA as an Associate in a remote scenario can be rough. But if you use that 2 hours a day - you can better tackle it.
I like starting new jobs because I can sort of reinvent myself a bit. Good Luck!!
You could have a better experience this time around. Who knows! How are you feeling about losing your most recent job?
I truly hope so. Thank you both truly ❤️
Public accounting is desperate for bodies. They will hire anyone with a pulse these days.
It’s crowded at the manager and above level
Take the job, especially with it being remote! And you can always look for something else on the side. With the way the market it, might just want to take the job
I actually left my last last job for what I thought was my dream job turned nightmare. That prior job was less than a year and I was fired on my 10th month at that "dream job" so it was back to back short tenures.
I don't think I can leave again under 1.5 or even 2 years without wrecking my resume BUT get it. Stick it out here and there's always more fish after I finish up my 1.5 - 2yrs here haha.
Thats a low offer for a senior level associate. New grads with out CPA are making $75k - 80k in Washington State.
Update?
