Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.
So here are my questions.
How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.
When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.
Thanks in advance!

I was in the same boat a few weeks ago. I decided to pass on the opportunity even though it paid the same salary but significantly more in bonuses. The reason I did this is because of the stress that comes with learning a new role and starting over in seniority with a new company. I always say, when it comes to environment, you know what you have but don’t really know what you’re getting. That being said, if your current environment is absolutely horrendous, or you sense/ smell a layoff in the near future, then for sure you should take the new opportunity in a heartbeat.
Yeah. I get that that. I think part of the reason I excel in my current role is because I’ve taken the time to learn my environment. I’ve never been a job-hopper, but my current company has valued my loyalty (so far). If that ever changed I’d be more likely to make the jump.
I would definitely go with the bigger base pay. You never know how a company really is when it comes to bonuses and it could be completely underwhelming and then you're stuck.
That’s what I think, too. Plus I really like my current team.
I'd stick with the bigger base. The 25-27% doesn't work out to all that much more than you're currently making. And that's if you hit it, which might be hard your first year. Not to mention new hires are typically the first casualties if/when layoffs hit.
True. My company has valued my loyalty (so far) and I appreciate that. If I ever feel that shift then I’d be more likely to consider other opportunities. Or if I get an offer I just couldn’t pass up.
