One time 10% and parallel trajectory? Sure. 10% then COLAs only (which is what 8-5 gets you)? No way. Gotta get further up the ramp first.

Hoping for an industry offer today *fingers crossed* will be a very small raise over my current salary and 9-5. Only reason I wouldn't accept is I'm thinking about a school too. Either way I'll be out by June

Wake up fishes! The "standard industry 8-5 job" is a myth. Unless you want to go to industry and stamp invoices and then get kicked out after 6 months when the consultants come in looking for efficiency opportunities!

@KMPG3 agree that while most industry jobs aren't 8-5, it's more rare that these folks in middle/back office work past 6 or 6:30pm each night, unless it's bad crunch time. With our jobs, it's so up in the air whether we leave at 6pm or 10pm any given night, that the more consistent schedule is alluring.

Not true K3, especially in Tech. Have many friends making 6 figures who've worked over 45 maybe once in the past year. Still moving up and getting promoted too

@K3 - most banks I've ever consulted or worked in most people were gone by 5 except on the rare occasion.

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.)
