When is the Appropriate Time to ask about Salary/Vacation time/Start Date? I did an initial interview with the Director of Financial Reporting that went well. My source w/in the Company says the job is mine to lose. I have B2B interviews with the Assistant Controller and Controller later this week. Should I ask during the interview or wait until an offer has been presented?

Wouldn’t HR give you better information on that? If I’m interviewing someone I won’t be discussing HR related questions with the candidate.

Normally HR will ask you about this when they're ready to make an offer.

I’ve typically had a salary range provided in screening with HR. But if that didn’t occur, all will come from HR with offer letter. Start dates change around so much too depending on how long things take but you can always get a sense of when they’d ideally like someone to start - hiring manager is best person to ask
that question to specifically. I wouldn’t suggest questions re. salary or PTO in interview.

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

Need advice. I’m at my first job in private accounting. Previous experience is as an auditor. I am struggling to figure out the way JEs are posted at my current company. It’s never straightforward even for simple entries. There’s things like settlements which confuse the crap out of me. I’m curious if it’s just my company or if every sophisticated accounting department will have non traditional ways of posting their journal entries.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
