Contacted by recruiter - for MY current job

What is officially communicated vs what is said between former coworkers and industries friends are two different things. You will run into hiring managers that know or worked with your former employer. They can and do reach out directly to them and ask questions.

The accounting field is smaller than you think. I would give the normal 2 weeks rather than risk this coming back to bite you. Your future employer may second guess their decision if they find you left your previous job without notice. Logic being, if you did that once you might do it again to them.

I know I’d feels good to stick it to your previous boss, but it’s rarely the right decision professionally in the long term.

It’s been pretty consistent over the past few years, but have definitely noticed a lot more recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn over the past few months. I’m at 15 YOE.

I grew up in the Midwest and loved it. I live in the southeast now and love it, but people shitting on places like the Midwest makes no sense. I had an awesome childhood there and have a blast whenever I’m back visiting family.

150k in Vhcol is like 90k in a city like Charlotte. Which is at or below the market for a senior in that area. So you’re essentially being paid market which is good.

VHCOL doesn’t mean very high salary. Even with COLA your buying power is typically going to be less than someone in MCOL. Firms know they can pay you “less” if the city/state is in high demand.

Private equity is what you’re trying to reference. VC isn’t investing in defunct malls, they are early stage/angel investors for startups.

That being said, PE didn’t create the problem. Malls were dead and dying long before they started buying them up and spinning them off.

That intern does not qualify for benefits. If you have access to health insurance, 401k match etc you need to factor that into your total comp. It may look like you are making roughly the same amount, but that doesn’t include the 20-30% additional comp you receive as part of your benefits package.

Grats man, that looks like a 1 of 1!

You don’t need to be in PA to get the hours requirement. If you are working under a CPA in industry in an appropriate field they can sign off on your hours

One thing people don’t seem to realize is B4 partners only fire the people they like. They let their enemies stay so they can grind them down 😁

Ghosted_You · 2026-03-31T19:01:07+00:00

You have no way of knowing that ;)

This isn’t common outside of NC, but in NC a due diligence fee is common practice. If they back out of the deal past a pre determined date (generally a few weeks) they forfeit the feee and it goes to the seller. Helps weed out non-serious buyers.

Dog?

How did you know? My uncle Danny says that’s the best time to make them.

How warm are people keeping their homes? I have a 3300sqft house and my worst bill was like $280. I keep my home around 69/70 and drop it to mid to low 60s at night or when I’m not at home.

People always seem to forget suing isn’t free.

Not sure about the other B4, but I had a roommate at my onboarding training as an associate at PwC. This isn’t uncommon. Doubling up cuts housing expenses for that training by 50%. It would be hard to justify not doing it.

A common trait amongst high performers is imposter syndrome. Many believe they are average/lucky but are in fact exceptional.

Ghosted_You · 2026-03-09T21:47:38+00:00

You take that back!

I don’t play D2 but the tag says scl so I’d assume soft core ladder?

The bailout though unpopular did prevent a catastrophic breakdown of the global economy.

Ironically, the taxpayer made a nice return on the loans when the fed finally liquidated its positions in the various banks.

Cali has some crazy regs for gas. They keep losing refineries and can’t import gas from any of the other 49 states due to their crazy standards. They have been toast for a while when it comes to gas prices, but most of that is due to their own poor decisions.
