what specifically worries you about exiting B4 for a TC $200K opportunity at a startup in this economic environment? Surely they wouldn’t lay you off until 12 months or so... right? if you were hired by the CEO

They'll lay off whomever and however many they need to under the right circumstances.

Anything is possible. I know someone who left their Big 4 job for a Corporate Development Director position at an established company and was laid off 3 months later due to the current economic environment.

What’s the position? If you’re 1 of 1 in the finance department relatively irreplaceable. If you’re an addition to the team you could be out the door next week

Ask their cash position prolly

Yolo cant be leaving with fear of rejection.

Consider being transparent and having this conversation with the CEO - it is a valid concern and worth learning about their perspective before you join. Then argue to see if they are willing to have any protective terms in your employment agreement to make you comfortable joining.

Could lay you off the day you take the new role. Jumping to a start up means inherently more risk - make sure you really believe in the product and leadership team

You wouldn’t be asking this to begin with if you knew with 100% certainty that you wouldn’t be laid off

thank you, analyst 1.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.

Why do Big 4 firms interview you for a specific position level and then try to make you come in below that level...

That would be a lateral move for me in terms of level which be okay if at least it was a good pay increase but Their quoted pay range for the lower level would make it almost a lateral move financially too..

Beyond frustrating

Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?
