Looking for some advice on a tough decision! I’m currently 1.5 years into Deloitte Audit as an AY2. Right now, I’m making $65k with a 5-10% bonus. I’ve been offered a role at a Global 100 company in their international IA team as an Associate, making $75k with a 7-10% bonus plus a travel bonus.

What are people thoughts about short term vs long term? Stay as a senior or go for IA?

money will prob slow down a bit in industry. unless you keep moving up but spots are usually limited in industry. a friend left pwc in 2018 as a first year senior. i stayed. after bonuses, i make almost $100k more. their increases in 6 years had been little.

Be sure to get that in writing.

Don’t do it. Stay until manager

Just make the jump. I’m up for manager promo and audit doesn’t really open up the doors people claim it does. You’ll be stuck in accounting the longer you stay. If you go to IA industry, you could move laterally in no time.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
