Just curious if Big 4 Audit managers, or those who recently left are getting job offers in industry pretty easily or is it difficult to exit in this market? Are your job offers good, or leaving for bad companies and messes?

So I’m currently a senior accountant and been offered a manager role on my team, however the salary offered is a bit low. I’m currently making $115k, and was offered $130k, but we have seniors on our team making 125/130k. Ideally I’d like $150k, but would settle for 140k, so I’m wondering how to navigate this?
One thing to note is our company posts ranges for each role, so my current senior role the range is 95k-145k, and this manager role the range is 100k-170k, so I feel like I’m well within reason asking for 150k.
How should I go about this negotiation? Should I ask for 150 or 140?
If I have a $5k statement balance due August 25th, and do a Plan It for $3k, will that reduce my statement balance to $2k that’s due August 25th?
If I bought something on Monday, do I have until Sunday to return it or until the next Monday?
I’m interested in two roles that are open in my company, I’ve already applied for one, and while I’m waiting to go through the process for it, there’s another position that has opened up. Is it fine for me to apply to this second one, as there’s no guarantee I’d get the first one?
So I have a bookshelf I want to mount on this wall in the center, and the holes would be about 20 inches above/below and then about 15 inches right/left (4 corners) away from the outlets shown, is there any risk to drilling into any electrical components?
So really unexpectedly, our daughter got into a school we were interested in, and of course we happened to book a trip where we come back the evening before the first day of school.
This is for PK-3. It’s a domestic trip to visit family, just a few hour flight, but we probably won’t be home until 8pm, and it’s very possible she naps/falls asleep for the night on our drive back home from the airport. It’s crazy expensive to change my flight to come home earlier, so wondering if you think this situation will impact her first day and emotional/behavioral state, compared to if we came home 4-5 days earlier?
She’s been at home 99% of her time with my wife so far, we’ve done a couple of short 2-3 week camp type things where we dropped her off for 3-4 hours and it would go ok dropping her off, sometimes she would be excited but sometimes really emotional and teary. So just worried about the drop off and just her being unregulated having just come back from a trip.
So I’m looking for a shoe rack that I can put in my garage that is covered and prevents bugs from entering, but is also either clear or easy to access my shoes for daily wear
What’s the difference between these two practices and the exit opportunities?
I have 3.5 years in Big 4 audit (left at senior), and then 1.5 years in F250 technical accounting at the senior accountant level. Would I be a good candidate for Big 4 advisory, and if so, which areas?
Also, how much could I expect to make in a MCOL or HCOL area?
What are the exit opps from CMAAS? Technical accounting, financial reporting, FP&A, others?
I was curious what areas relating to accounting does Deloitte have for consulting? Like for example PwC has CMAAS, FDD, etc…
I’m looking something more focused on technical accounting guidance rather than FDD type stuff.
Let’s say a small bake shop, or a small homemade crafts store. When they purchase the raw materials, and then eventually turn that into finished goods to sell, how are they typically tracking that inventory? Do they just book their raw materials purchases to inventory, and not classify beyond that? Do they have specific buckets of inventory(RM, WIP, FG) and then somehow track that as they progress?
What’s your level, and why did you get laid off? Was it performance related at all, or did you perform high and put in a lot of work and still get laid off?
I sometimes think of going back to audit at PwC but if that means I could get laid off even after putting in a ton of hours, and performing high, then I don’t want to risk it.
I love my J1, it’s hybrid 2 days in office, but the rest of the days I don’t work much. And I need more money right now. What’s the best way for me to get J2 without getting caught? My biggest worry is if I put my current employer on my resume, they’ll get contacted and I’ll be found out. However if I don’t put them on my resume, then I have to account for 1.5 year and I think I wouldn’t get a J2. Also, my LinkedIn is currently active and has my J1 on it… so I feel like if I deactivate or hibernate my LinkedIn that might look weird and also not enable me to get a job.
Let’s say I’m renting a house that’s valued at $500k and I get renters insurance for $100k personal liability. Now if the house burns down, what happens to cover the gap between my 100k insurance and the value of the home/repairs?
Would the landlords homeowner insurance cover that or am I liable?
Looking for a standing desk between 45-55” wide, and the most important thing to me is it has a high quality and reliable motor/electrical component for the sit/stand feature and then also be a solid and not wobbly desk. Recommendations for brands?
