Looking to leave big 4 as an A2 because I’m just done with auditing. I have been interviewing with offers extremely likely with a couple companies and wanted to see peoples opinion on leaving. Does recognition really matter? For example I am looking at a F100 company, a F1000 company, and a Large Public Company. All the positions are senior accounting roles with some variation of finance as well. Pay and benefits all near the same too. What would you guys pick or make the pick easier? TIA

Thanks for the insight. That’s what I was thinking too. I guess at the end of the day it’s kinda like a Big 4 vs Mid-Tier firms.

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!

I got an offer letter from tech mahindra for 13 LPA and capgemini 11LPA (1 lac bonus) for guidewire technology. Which one should I consider joining?

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
