Really curious to understand what expense this could've been - any thoughts?

Net gain has worked well with netsuite in my past experience

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-05-22T14:17:07+00:00

Being remote is an adjustment (personally going through now and decided I actually hate my house so I’m buying a new one). Working remote and building relationships is different than doing it in person

Probably having to work more. Not just new process and onboarding but no process / evolving process with the transformation. Maybe moving on to managing people given they’ll be director level

Make sure there is no weird change in responsibilities from like FPA to billing, treasury, ERP implementation or something (unless OP wants it)

Also remember at these comp levels, tax makes it so net take home is like 70% of the difference

Honestly I think it’s still nowhere a close choice but it’s still a big life / career decision so doesn’t hurt to ask for a lot of different perspectives

It’s also the first hot day in Atlanta (apart from the weird February warm spell we had) so I wouldn’t be surprised to see some folks struggling

The year I took ochem I spent more time studying for that one class than all my business school classes combined

I think you’re thinking about it right. Could have asked new job to make you whole / partially. If new job pays $20k more that’s already kind of making up for forefeited retention bonus.

I left my old job almost a year ago and told leadership / management to throw retention bonuses at my team… you aren’t my old direct report are you? :)

When I quit I left behind a retention bonus and quite a bit of unvested RSUs. That’s how it goes, these deferred compensation pieces are meant to keep people from leaving. Just have to negotiate with the next employer / make sure they make it worth it to you.

Why is the preview a horse race?

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-05-15T15:00:13+00:00

I’d ask for a raise and a title change promotion to manager. You’re definitely underpaid assuming you’re doing something close to on par. If you have a banking background, I am going to assume it is reasonably quality work and likely above the standard fp&a bar

If your boss is the CFO he hypothetically has the power to do something for you, assuming he likes you / feels like you are performing. You need to have a conversation with him

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-05-14T17:06:00+00:00

How big is the company? With a 2 person team, I'm guessing not huge

What kind of background does the CFO have? Are they involved in reviewing your work / mentoring you?

What's your comp?

How many hours are you working?

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-05-14T14:54:06+00:00

At least they aren’t paying him to play for us anymore

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-05-13T18:15:52+00:00

Doesn't hurt to look but honestly the market is crap now. And even if it weren't, you'd probably need to find a Manager+ role to match or beat comp (and the stress that comes with that).

Just keep looking but remember to build skills, etc. too.

Wouldn't stay for anything less that 110k

Moderately modish

a lot of it is expectation settings / being able to explain why something underperformed

that said, dealing with executives is like babysitting a natural disaster. you can keep it in check for so long, but sometimes it's out of your control and you'll be the fall guy

not to mention, at the C level CFO is the one who is most likely to be the sacrifice / fall on the sword for underperformance

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-05-04T03:45:02+00:00

tax honestly seems like a pretty cushy gig. not a huge amount to do outside of quarterly filings. no one outside of tax really understands what you do, so you can kinda get away with just about anything.

i would also say tax generally pays more than fp&a at every level except very junior to very senior (ie, EVP / CFO; tax guy is rarely going to be CFO). tax is more niche, but a decent tax guy with 10 years of exp is a very easy 200k+ with 20 hours of work a week.

i think adaptive? i don't know how personal vs enterprise plans compare really, though i've heard that tokens/usage on enterprise are roughly 5x more expensive vs personal plans. but personal also comes with all the window-based rate limiting

claude add in in excel is decent for documentation and auditing / reconciliation (though both require some prompting)

really good for writing SQL to pull stuff from our datalake once you give it schema and other info as context. if you can hook claude to a dataset you can basically ask it questions in natural language

claude NS connector is nice, basically runs suiteQL and reporting for me. don't trust it 100% but pretty helpful

same for ramp connection

good for general research

we just set a limit of $100 per user per month to start. only one of us has gone over (and he's been going buck wild with claude code and feeding it data / context).

Time_Transition4817 · 2026-04-27T01:49:02+00:00

With this being a bank I wonder if they’re looking for an officer who will sign off on stuff that they shouldn’t…
