To do a short-term rotation with RSM UK (already interviewed and just waiting to hear back), or to try to secure a long-term move abroad (preferably, both). Went through some interviews with firms in the Netherlands last year so I know what to do, just need to refine phone/video interview skills next time around

Having the CPA, a few years experience with complex accounting at clients, as well as some experience actually working abroad on some foreign subsidiaries helped a ton since I have a lot to draw upon during interviews. There are plenty of US GAAP-based teams at B4 firms in large European cities (Amsterdam, Zurich, Vienna) as well as smaller firms looking to expand international services that are potentially willing to specialize . The interview I had was with the latter, and I used a few recruiters specializing in international relocation for finance/accounting professionals. Happy to give any additional info if you want!

Hi All,
I need your immediate help for Barclays, i am in the middle of the interview process for Barclays Pune/Mumbai, I have heard that they do check Credit Report for all roles as a part of their Pre employment screening (May be stage 1).
Is that correct?
Can someone please check their Background screening report and confirm?
I think they use Hireright as their 3rd part agency but not sure.
i would really appreciate your help.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
