Someone asked this same question like two weeks ago. In that post it said rushed month ends, no WLB and no growth. Plus low pay.

BT has a posting I have been waiting for. It says "no busy seasons" and I think they prep the Partners returns. I don't think there's a lot of growth but sounds perfect!!

I know internal people at Deloitte get laughably low raises and bonuses like 1-2%

I would imagine most firms are the same in terms of low pay

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
