Thoughts? Received an offer, 40% increase in base comp but is a relatively unknown firm. How would this look on my resume if I were to interview for a new job in 2 years or so? Currently Senior 2, B4

Struggling with the prestige factor of company. I don’t know what to do

Normal

I was in the same shoes. Took the job. Now making M2 salary as an S3. Also have significantly less hours, travel, and stress than I did at PwC. Recruiters still come calling.

It’s not too good to be true

Take it. Would be a plus on resume if it is a different function other than audit. But anyways, take it

If you’re concerned about prestige and upward mobility stay at B4

I left EY for a CPA firm that pays base salary >20% above big 4. We get overtime if we work over 45 hours a week, travel bonuses up to 25% of base salary if we travel, profit sharing since there aren't a million partners to take all of the profits, and you get 3% of the client fees if you're on a client longer than 3 months. Plus, audit is optional. You can work in M&A, CFO advisory, treasury, reporting, etc. I'd never have those experiences staying at EY so I'm way more marketable now than if I had stayed at big 4. So the prestige of the firm I'll go to after will be higher than any I could have gone to coming from EY

Yes.

Hi,

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.
