Do it

Pros: Extremely cheap cost of living, much more interesting clients, be apart of the future of an industry that interests me, faster promotion track(less increase in pay each year), living in Vegas.. Cons: never done assurance and compliance and have heard bad things, currently work from home Friday's, family friends and girlfriend on east coast, much more hours

Honestly that's probably like a 30% purchasing power increase

Vegas is an odd place to live.

Its general internal audit, making sure casinos follow Nevada gaming control board standards, business controls, some SOX, some cyber and consulting opportunities

That actually sounds interesting. Good Luck!

Thank u!

Temptation is pretty crazy in Vegas. Gotta watch out for vices. I frequent Vegas ALOT and have friends who live there in some pretty nice places. They all started off saying how they weren't going to go out much and now they go out like 4 nights a week and do a bunch of blow (none did drugs before moving there). Not saying this will be you, just trying to put my 2 cents in and share knowledge about what I've seen happen. Best of luck!

I'm doing it! Moving Tuesday, man the process was tough but it all worked out well. I'm stoked and roll off my project frisay

Billing question - Do you have clients pay an outstanding balance within 30 days of sending out your account or earlier? I’ve heard some firms require clients to pay as soon as the account is rendered (ie. within 5 business days) but not sure if clients actually do that in reality and you end up chasing them? Any creative ideas are welcome!
