PwC interviewed me for Manager role in workday practice and came back with an offer for Sr. Associate role with a far less base salary than what I am making now. Is it a routine negotiation trick ? Overall 13+ years of experience but new in WD. However WD FIN and PM certified.

They did that to me too. For your own sanity and self-respect decline the offer.

I accepted that offer thinking my promotion was only a matter of time. I ended up being expected to endure treatment as if I was 10 years junior while I watched my peers I graduated with get paid 40k more than me.

Definitely not routine, but did they explain why they’re “demoting” you?

They are saying I am new to practice I am applying for. But that was evident on my resume anyway.

Politely Decline and keep interviewing! Deloitte offered me 25k more than PwC.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Will vs Trust:

Which do you use (if any estate planning) and why? Recently talked with a layer on getting a will and they are trying to steer me to a trust.

Demographics for ref: 30, live in GA, unmarried, no kids, no real estate (yet, planning to buy after market cools). I don’t envision I’ll amass a ton of physical assets over my life so really just need to say where my various $ accts go (401k, pension, IRA, etc)

Trust cost was $2,900. Didn’t give price for will.
