Offered two positions:
1- Accountant at 115K at privately held company, fast interview- only 15 minutes with assistant controller, they like me and HR contacted me the next day, but only 10 days PTO. I only report to the assistant controller. 3% 401k match, 90 days introductory period.

2- auditor job in government for 80K, they have nice benefits package, job security and stability. 7%401k and pension. Nicer benefits package.
Which one you take if you are an auditor? And looking for a long term

One 15 minute interview and only 10 days off a year sounds like the place is a dumpster fire . Can govt role increase compensation?

How can I approach that professionally?

BT1 nailed it. I would be super cautious of a place that offered that quickly! I'm all for not dragging a hiring process out but 15 minutes isn't enough time to even cover the basics.

I audit some government entities, you won’t be asked to work overtime. But salary does not ever seem to rise much above 100k.

90 day introductory period seems like a cultural thing is off, too. They offer the 115K then if you do get terminated for not "fitting the culture," you're out with the gov't position, too. Gov't tends to promote well over time anyways, would be earning more than the 115K. Especially if it's a dumpster fire per BT1.

Still at University, I see. (Well, I am, too! haha) Take the 80K. My gut feeling. But always up to you. There's a lot we here don't know.

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
