Analyst

I’m an investment banking summer analyst at a major bank. I have an autoimmune disease and tend to get very sick very easily, especially when working long hours. I didn’t bring this up in the interview or hiring stages because I didn’t want it to disqualify me, and I hoped it wouldn’t be an issue, but the hours are really hurting my health. What should I do? I worked hard to get where I am, so I’d like to stay in IB if I can, but my health is obviously important too. Should I talk to my manager?

What was your initial salary? And in what position? I want to know if there is hope for me, starting with $45k as an analyst.

Is it possible to move from analyst from consulting to manager role in industry?

I was recently laid off as a first year analyst. Looking for new consulting opportunities, but currently in a limbo stage of my career where I'm not an entry level campus hire, but also don't have 2-3+ years of experience to be considered an experienced hire. Open roles I've seen at various consulting companies have business analyst/entry level positions for 2021 graduates only...any advice/insights on how I should approach this stage of my career or companies hiring non campus, entry level roles?

Those who make over $150k and have 5 yrs of work experience, can you share what skills do you have and what industry you are in?

I see so many veterans with MBAs coming in at ~80k analyst roles like the undergrads. MBA should typically get you 6 figures upon graduation+higher role. Wondering if applying to MBA is even worth it?

How do you answer - why do you want to leave public accounting for a financial analyst role? Besides the obvious answers of better worklife pay etc.

I am currently a tax analyst for a mid size firm. I have been offered a senior analyst position at a big 4 firm with a $20,000 increase in pay. This big 4 office seems stable throughout the crisis...mine doesn’t seem 100% stable. I only want to stay in public practice for 1 more year until I get my cpa. What should I do?

As a new audit manager, is it a good career path to leave for a senior financial analyst role at a large Fortune 500 company? Salary is about 10% more. Or should I keep on looking for a accounting manager job?

So I’m a second year consultant. Like most, I was disappointed with compensation this year and am pretty bearish on my future earning potential here. I’m currently interviewing with a big tech company (not FAANG but close) for a position with substantially higher pay as a business analyst. I really wanted to stay til SC/M but the money is too good to pass up. I guess my question is: are there any major downsides to exiting to industry “too early?” Has anyone done it and regretted it?

First year analyst here, what exit ops are there? I feel too much of a generalists to apply anywhere.

Anyone at D willing to give an analyst 1/2 referral? I heard you guys pay more :p

Just got an offer from a growing private company for an FP&A analyst role. 2 YOE at Big 4 plus CPA. They offered 75K plus decent benefits. No 401K currently (told its in the works for 2021) or bonus. Its their final offer. It’s a MCOL. I like the people I’ve met but the only thing holding me back is I feel like I should be making at least 80K plus a bonus. Do y’all think the offer is reasonable? The recruiter said not many companies hire someone directly from an audit background for this role.

Am I being fleeced?! What is the expected comp for Business Operations Manager after you exit consulting? Got an offer for 130k base, no sign on and very little equity Am I being lowballed?

I’m currently making $68,500 as a staff 2 in risk (unsure how much I’ll make when I’ll get promoted to a S1 next month). I just got an offer for $85-90k from a start up company for a Sr Sox Analyst position. The additional increase in salary is worth the switch right?
