When you said in the interview you wanted someone with a strong understanding of US GAAP - I didn’t realize it was because you don’t understand it at all.

Boss: “if you have an issue with how something was done, well, just know that we’ve had a lot of accountants come through here over the years and people have their own way of doing things.”
Me: I get that, but what you’re telling me to do isn’t tax accounting. It’s graphic design.
Boss: *silence*

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.

Fishes,
I was selected for product based organisation but a third-party consultancy scheduled interviews and followed with them till offer release.
They(consultancy) are calling me sometimes and checking with me whether everything is good to join( i think they might get some money if I join)
But i see it was downgrade in technology in that organisation so I might not join in product company.
How do I convey them I have 20 days remaining?
Feeling guilty
