What was your experience after telling your previous company you were leaving... did they not really care, or did they try to offer you a pay bump. If offered a bump, what percentage was it?

I think the general advice is to never take the bump. They know you’re motivated to leave and money only keeps you interested so long if you really hate it otherwise. They know you’re on a timeline to go elsewhere regardless.

I got threats that I would be burning bridges and being able to return to such a great company. Made my last day all the sweeter.

They offered to raise my salary but I told them it wasn’t just money. Was thrown a nice farewell event, no hard feelings at all

Threatened to call my new company and tell them that I was prohibited from working for new company due to a non-compete agreement. There was no agreement .

Interesting, thanks! I just turned down an interview offer from Infosys.

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

Making an offer. The sellers said they had 30+ people walk through the open house today, and are asking for best and final. They’ll make a decision on Monday. The list price is 775k. We were originally thinking of offering 700 to start since comps are around 735k. However, this is nicer than the comps renovation-wise. What would you all suggest we offer? We’d rather lose the house than overpay, so this concerns us.
