What’s the best way to approach leaving PA and moving to a new city? All the jobs recruiters tell me about basically are the same pay I’m making adjusted for the cost of living differential

Move to the new city with current firm to get the COLA. Then get a new job and get the exit bump

I’m not B4 and I guess my firm won’t let you transfer offices unless you have a legit need. I just want to move to a larger city

Essentially what they keep telling me is there’s no difference in salary between public and industry when you don’t take into account hours. In my mind I want to leave for a larger number after a COL adjustment for the new city. Does that seem reasonable?

As a staff accountant? Not really reasonable, you're starting pretty close to the bottom. Once you hit senior - manager offers jump a decent amount.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Hi Capgemini folks, anyone here who left the company in the first year and returned the joining bonus amount?

I wanted to ask whether they will ask to transfer the JB amount or just deduct it from FnF, assuming the FnF amount (last month salary + leave encashment) is > JB

Although we have not been told we would close (return 04/06) I decided to clean and start prepping to pack it all up. It’s sad, but reality for so many schools.
