Joyce spent the last three months working as part of an engagement team that was auditing Vintage by Jessica, a fast-growing, publicly traded, high-fashion cosmetics company headquartered in the heart of Manhattan and Austin.
One day after the client's financial statements were issued, Alison, the partner in charge of the audit team contacted you to tell you that she will be accepting a position at this client as its new CFO. The partner also invited you to join "her new team" and relocate to this client's San Francisco office as a junior Financial Forecasting Associate for Asian Operations. You contacted the client to accept this offer on November 5 and plan to resign your current position on November 17. You also called your ace adviser Howard and attorney Lee for advice. How long do you have to wait before commencing work with this client?
