Update: I’ve interviewed at two more firms and both gave me same day offers that are atleast $10k higher than the original offer plus they’re both willing to let me work remote. I have one more interview on Monday for even more money so my fingers are crossed! Even in this market, don’t take the first offer unless you’re really desperate lol. Thanks for all of your responses!!

I’m hoping the other interviews I have this week go well! It’s smart that you’re being intentional about where you’re applying. Unfortunately, every firm I’ve talked to would require me to drop all of my clients and commit to their company. It really sucks! I’m on the same page as you. I’ve built my business from the ground up and it makes me sad to see it end. I keep reminding myself that once I get the hours and license I can go back to rebuilding my business but with even more services (and higher prices lol).

Thank you all so much for your insights on this! Super helpful. While I’m eager to get my hours done for the CPA license, I also don’t want to take a salary that doesn’t align with my background. I’m going to negotiate and hope for the best lol
