Received a nasty email last night from a partner blaming me for a mistake that turned out not to have been my responsibility and was in fact her own oversight. I’ve learned she’s the kind of partner that tries to shift blame on to everyone but herself, especially on deals, and blames her juniors for the results of her own poor management and training skills. Accepted an offer this morning for $25k more than I make now with a firm that actually invests in its associates. Can’t wait to start.

Hey folks, I'm getting an offer as a SC in EY UK. Presently I'm a manager with EY India (up for SM next yr Oct 2021). Comp is 55k range (haven't officially received the figure, a few more days it's expected, doing some homework before that).

I'll be moving with family. Wife may not immediately start working (,find a new job, we have a toddler daughter as well 2 YO).

I personally don't find this offer commercially attractive. Can someone offer some counter arguments?

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org.

The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
