I am currently a FA and applied for SFA position. Job1: I got an offer for 93.5k with 4K sign-on bonus. Job 2: I have a second round interview with another company where a recruiter said will get me close 95k to 105k. Is it ok for me to go ahead and accept job 1 while I go thru thru the interview process and get a chance to get the position and negotiate for a better offer? I would really appreciate some advice?

Question for people in Corporate Finance: is it common to mainly be able to get a promotion by moving into a new role?
Basically, I’m in a process where I have to apply and interview internally to manager roles and only once I am able to get one, do I get promoted. So my question is, is this common in corporate finance? Seems like a pretty dumb way to do things imo but curious if this is normal? My background is IB so definitely didn’t see that there but any insight would be great!

Have a live 2 hour long final round case interview coming up this week for a senior FP&A analyst role. I’ve been preparing by practicing the consulting framework but I’m not sure what they would expect for an FP&A role since I assume it would be alot different. For the other FP&A roles I’ve interviewed for they’ve been primarily they send an assessment ahead of time to assess a certain investment or build a p&l forecast, and present findings in interview

Any tips on what to expect?
