You can never go wrong with clear, concise over communication. As a manager this is my #1 ask. Give me information frequently but make it clear.

Try to get onto a very large team if you aren’t already (assuming audit.) They tend to last the majority of the year, so you’ll have consistency as you’re learning the new software/methodology and you’ll have a lot of fellow seniors to ask questions to.

The busy seasons on the really big clients can be brutal, but in my experience they tend to be shorter and they have the easiest off seasons. In my class the people who got staffed to them have lasted the longest.

The advice above on finding ways to network within the firm is pretty critical for long-term success. Having people above you that have your back is how you last beyond 2 years.

I have got 6 years of experience and I have done MBA in finance. My last company was a Big 4. They are ready to pay me 9L and I require a 100% increment. will they give me 12 L? Should I accept 9 L?

For those who have gone from one big 4 to another…was it frowned upon by your superiors/looked at as a slap in the face, even if your intentions are to leave on good terms?

Just been offered a manager position (people & org consulting) at a big 4 in Qatar for 24k (QAR). Based on previous threads this seems low for the region. Especially as 9k goes towards accommodation (max unfurnished 1br) ....Have I been low balled? Or is this normal?
