Definitely take the job. No question. If I were the manager that you were leaving I'd kick your butt if you didn't go.

The entire point of Big 4 is to make money for partners. Literally there is no other real reason. If they valued the relationship they would give you $5k more and give you the position that EY is. If they don't value you for the tiny amount of $5k and don't give you the position you want them you are a moron to not leave because of a "relationship" because at that point you are the only one concerned about the relationship.

Cont. but he is also a friend.

If you consider someone a friend, you should look out for them and advise them to take the best option. He may be a little salty about it being a competitor, but at the end of the day you should anticipate his support. It's not like he's staying until partner himself, some people just leave earlier or later.

If he's a true friend he will understand. If he doesn't understand he's not a real friend.

No one can really care about competitors in the Big 4 can you? I mean let's be serious we are all cogs in the machine.

TS1: think it makes people feel like you didn't care about their relationship at your current firm, that you're just looking for an extra $5k, and that its kind of lame to flip between firms - we are all cogs, so unless your current firm is screwing you, why switch at all?

Which position at EY?

I am not talking about your relationship with your partner, I am talking about the relationships with people in the firm. If you hop between jobs often, people notice and invest less in you. I left PwC only because my director was pulled off and my manager went to advisory, and I didn't want to recur on a horrible engagement without my friends and advocates. I'm starting from fresh at my new job and that is always an uphill battle.

Are you my friend?

Hello! I’m based in NYC and looking for my next role. I work in the digital strategy/brand strategy space. I have experience across multiple industries (tech/telecom/Pharma (dermatology)/beauty and skin care and I am looking for a Director or VP role (my last job was a VP). I would like to keep my base of at least $180k (is this reasonable if I look for Director positions too?) Would love to land something soon before we hit the holiday season. Do you think what I am looking for is reasonable?

I recently gave my small firm notice that I am leaving and moving to another state. I mentioned that I am considering starting my own practice in the new area, and the managing partner suggested that I transition to an “of counsel” position at a 1099 hourly rate (remote) while I got started. I thought the rate was a bit low, but I’m not sure what to compare it to. Anybody have any experience with these arrangements? Any advice on how to structure? Or if it’s worth it? Any input is appreciated.

I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
