Thoughts on going from a manager in PA with 5.5 years of experience to a senior accountant at a 12.5B insurance company? I’d get about a 20% pay increase, every other Friday off, pension, etc.

Think about what you want in life right now. I know for me, my exit wasn't 100% what I expected but I realized that WLB was way more important to me than anything else.

No.

Why not?

Wouldn’t you have a pay raise soon this summer at your PA firm? If so 20% is like nothing

Not to mention working about 600 hours less than I currently do

No, because the progression for each subsequent level is unpredictable. Like in PA, if you show you're progressing, you'll get the promotion. In industry, you can show the progression and if there's no spot for you it can take a long time to get promoted. But if wlb is one of your top priorities, then all of the above may not matter.

Yes. I came from a large regional firm and went to a senior accountant role. It was worth it. You have to get a year or two of industry experience to get a cush manager job working 40 hours.

Hi All, I recently interviewed at Amazon and Google for software engineer and passed both interviews.

My question is should I take the Amazon offer now or decline Amazon and hold out for Google? I have heard that Google has better wlb/benefits. But I'm scared to decline Amazon without a guaranteed job offer.

Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?

3. I would appreciate it if you could recommend SDE2, SDE3, or both.
