Yeah, don’t tell my firm, but I don’t hate my pay. I work super long hours and had to pay my dues, but I get decent flexibility and I’m kind of a dumbass so to get multiple six figure figures it’s fine.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
