works at Seiler LLP

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 think public accounting is more in demand. Also, don’t use recruiters. You can find the same jobs on ur own.

    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

I’m about to decline an offer solely because they refused to put their flexible work-from-home policy in writing in the actual offer letter. During the interviews, the hiring manager promised me that everyone works from home on Mondays and Fridays, but HR refused to add that amendment to the employment contract, stating it's a discretionary policy. To me, if it isn't signed in ink on the contract, it can be deleted by a corporate memo on my second week of employment. Am I being entirely too paranoid?

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.

Every recruiter I talk to insists on knowing my current salary before they will present my profile to their clients. I’ve tried saying I’m looking for roles in the $110k-$120k range based on my market value, but they keep pushing for the historical data point. Will my current employer reveal that info in a reference check? How do you shut down the current salary question?

I am currently staring at an industry offer that is a direct match for my current $105k public salary, but it offers a massive 15% equity grant vesting over three years. The company is a privately held, family-funded logistics firm with zero plans to go public or sell to private equity anytime soon. Am I crazy for viewing this equity as essentially worth $0, or should I try to force them to convert that equity value into guaranteed base salary?

How do you highlight actual operational finance skills so you don’t get automatically denied? Staring at my resume trying to figure out how to frame "SOX compliance testing" so it doesn't immediately condemn me to a lifetime of Internal Audit roles. I want to pivot into general corporate accounting or financial operations. I actually helped design a workflow automation that cut our closing cycle down by two days, which is way more strategic than just checking user access logs.
