What's better: leaving Audit to do internal audit at a large company with internal mobility and name recognition, or to do the analyst role you want at a shittier company? Basically, company vs. role.

Always pick company. Shitty never helps your resume or your quality of life.

SM: better hours, better pay, potential to transition to a business side role at some point. If I stay in audit any longer, I will be pigeonholed and not gaining the skills I actually want.

What does shittier company mean ?

Shittier company means smaller, non blue chip, potentially dubious, unknown upward mobility outlook.

I'd go with company. Unless it's a startup with tons of perks. If it's an established small player w/ no upward mobility - not worth it.

IA is a great transition role... good place to get noticed and being a good business partner (i.e., value-added recommendations, etc.) could lead to an invitation to join that department.

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
