I’m a manager in tax and exit ops seem non existent. 9 out of 10 recruiters that reach out to me are contacting me regarding another public accounting firm. But I think I’m getting burnt out from public accounting…
I need a sanity check on this offer: $95k base, fully remote Senior Accountant position at a non-profit health system. It’s a modest raise but a massive life upgrade on paper. Does anyone have experience with the accounting culture in massive hospital networks or non-profits? Is it just underfunded public accounting?
Is a $140k SEC Reporting Manager role at a gas company worth a mandatory 5-day return to office? I am currently a Senior 3 in public making $112k, fully remote. This SEC reporting offer is a massive cash jump, a true management title. However, the office is in a suburban corporate park with a 45-minute commute each way, meaning I’m giving up 7.5 hours a week to my car. Would you do it?
I just found out that the $115k Senior Accountant offer I received uses a bonus structure based on company performance rather than individual KPIs. The HR rep tried to sell me on the fact that the company historically pays out at 100%, but legally, they could give me a $0 bonus check. Coming from public where the bonus is small but guaranteed based on your rating, this feels like sketchy. Do you guys negotiate for a higher base salary to offset a bonus clause like this, or is this just standard practice in corporate America?
Offer A is a Senior FP&A Analyst at a Fortune 100 consumer goods brand: $110k base, 10% bonus, good resume brand, but a hybrid 3-day office model and a highly competitive up or out corporate culture. Offer B is a Senior General Accountant at a boring, regional utility company: $105k base, a true federal-style pension, 100% remote, and a team where the median tenure is 14 years. I’m 29, single, and want a career. Which path sets up a better long-term trajectory?
At what point do you draw the line and withdraw your application from a process that demands a massive take-home project? I was asked to complete a take-home case study involving a full 3-year financial model and variance analysis for a Senior Analyst interview. I have five years of experience and my technical competency shouldn't require twelve hours of unpaid homework.
I think public accounting is more in demand. Also, don’t use recruiters. You can find the same jobs on ur own.
Also a manager at Seiler and I feel you
I’m talking to a couple really great recruiters right now and they’re helping me find jobs outside PA! There definitely are ops out there
Yes they are out there, but I recommend searching on your own without recruiters. They are out there though
