Hey. Was hoping for some insight.

Looking to obtain a role at
EY (Senior Exec - Financial Modelling). Currently a Financial Advisor and prior to this had 2 years experience as Financial Analyst. I’m more than confident in my ability to do the role but I just wanted advice on how to get the interview in the first place?

I also currently do not hold ACA/ACCA qualification, is this something EY would sponsor?

Thanks! 😊

Thank you in advance!

Hello fellow 🐠! I have 5 YOE, a Master’s degree, and I am currently working as a financial analyst. My question is whether or not a 65% pay increase that would come with a new role within same company would be detrimental to my career in the long term. The title is “Business Process Analyst” and it seems to be a great way to gain exposure and learn an incredible amount about the company. Is the growth potential there? Would I be giving up a career in finance that I could never return to?

I currently have an offer for an accounting position that has a great pay increase from my current position but I’m also in the middle of interviewing and have one last round with another company for a financial analyst position that I would prefer over accounting.

The pay for the second position would be slightly higher than my current offer.
