re: Higher paying job offer

You are probably aware of all this, but that's a job that has a lot of peaks and valleys in terms of WLB. Plenty of downtown during the quarter but lots of hours at quarter end. There can obviously be a big difference between SEC reporting and non SEC reporting, so I get why you're wary about it. If it's an established company that has good processes in place then you should be fine. If they're new to SEC reporting then there really is no telling what it will look like. Could be fine. Could be a dumpster fire.

At any rate, if you hate it after a year or two, then move on. It's not like jobs in accounting are hard to come by.
