Your future HR will use this as reasonableness testing to compute your next salary

No. EY S2 5.5k base + ~2 months VB —> 6k base + 1month AWS + ~ 2 months VB

A colleague who graduated with First Class Honors told me he feels very useless at his Big 4 firm because he can't meet audit deadlines. I reassured him that it isn't his fault; it's due to a shortage of manpower. I believe that even the smartest people can feel guilty and blame themselves in such situations. However, I think the real problem is that audit firms are freezing their hiring.

Is this full set financial reporting role or FP&A role? Looks really good, I can't land any interview above 5.5k as a S1

Audit is a very manual process

Its not as simple as thinking of building electric cars in 2005 or using pizza trade for bitcoin in 2010

Even if revive all big 4 founders, harvard mathematics professor, stephen hawking, oppenheimer and all his 18 generation also will have same problem

Is it shite solely because it's low? i have a similar offer but in fp&a and very tempted to just accept it to get a foot in the door first since none of my batch could get any pure fp&a interview.
