Two questions for you all:
1) Any thoughts on ARA at Deloitte? I see it is under the audit practice, but not wanting to stay in audit. Will there be a lot of crossover? I am wanting to move into an advisory role.
2) I was referred as a senior but now the recruiter that contacted me "feels" and after running it by "the team in [office I am applying to] that I am better suited to be a senior assistant. Should I contact the person that referred me? The person that referred me is a manager.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

Align to non-M&A offering but do a lot of work in the space (DD, integrations). B4 recruiter reached out and wants me to provide resume@for review with hiring partner.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
