So I have a tricky situation and need some advice. Long story short, one of my best friends was offered a role that I personally really like. She was promised Director level and when offer came through it was manager, so she declined and was pretty salty about it. Is it awkward if I apply for the role? How should I approach it with my friend?

If you like the role and money, and are OK with the fact that the company originally had said Director but offered Manager, go for it.

Your friend already rejected the offer. It's not like you are competing with your friend for the position.

I agree, your friend had the option and said no. I think it's fair game to go for it.

She declined it, what's awkward about applying for it?

I mean, she did turn it down...

I don’t think it’s awkward. If it wasn’t the right opportunity for them but it’s a good one for you, then they should understand that.

just ask them?

If she declined the offer I don't see an issue. Go for it!

I'd go for it. Not sure why she's "salty" - it was her that turned them down, not the other way around. But either way, that's got nothing to do with you.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
