Gotta love snow covered mountains!
Sorry Cubbies, better luck next time
Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at “experienced associate” because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!

All of this is standard in B4 except the raise because you’re not paid hourly
Not true for me.
We do all of that, other than the hourly wage (which is odd). Are there really CPA candidates that work hourly and are motivated by an extra $4/hr? Are you hiring part-timers?
But what is that $8k after taxes? 👀
I am so motivated that I planning to pass my exams by 4/30/25. Just for that $4 raise alone I am ready to overdo myself to get it done……but don’t blame me if I leave afterwards because someone else in the industry is giving me a better package. Typical Big4 story.
This is all fairly standard across all large or medium firms
Not for me but I’m not in tax or audit.
No lunch powwow or $4 raise but got a $5k bonus instead of 4k when I started at Kpmg
I found out that the women who start as bookkeepers but go on to become CPAs at my firm are not paid more for completing the certification and all those expenses are paid out of pocket by the individual. They also are relegated to more administrative tasks and the downstairs office, where they can be consistently interrupted by others & client walk-ins.
I'm in school for my degree with the goal of CPA certificates afterwards, but I doubt I'll stay here because of the structure.
