Recently I accepted a job as a senior associate. I am an SA at Big-4 and I am about to be promoted to Manager. Does it look bad if I try and negotiate with the other company to give me a better title?

Which "better" title do you mean? Is being manager at your current job? It's never bad to think of your growth and career. If you don't do it, who will? It’s totally fair to ask for a title that reflects your actual growth! A friend of mine did just that, she politely let the new company know she was about to be promoted and asked if the role could reflect that. They appreciated the honesty and bumped her to “Lead.” It never hurts to advocate for yourself kindly.

Got it, I would definitely negotiate then and see which one is best for you. You have something already now, it's trying to find something better/

tbh should have been communicated earlier but it's worth a shot

I’ve made this mistake

Stay at big4 if they’re offering you a manager title

What job were they hiring for?

Did you know about this title move during the hiring process? I believe you should have mentioned earlier in the process but hey, better now than after you start. If you’re on the cusp of making manager you’ve earned the right to bring it up. Just be clear that it’s not about ego, it’s about reflecting your level and setting the right foundation.

Yes, I did. I brought it up and I was told that you don’t currently have the title.

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her.
