I am currently in industry, but was a Senior in Accounting Advisory, and before that an audit associate. I’m thinking of trying DDV at PwC as I’ve always been interested in M&A integration, but am unsure on carry over of skills and also would like to go somewhere I can be bumped to Manager as I was almost there prior to leaving industry. I know they are on a hiring spree so would coming in as a Manager be possible? I’ve previously been on M&A audit/AAS engagements.

Anyone able to give genuine advice on how a Senior Consultant can (i) perform well in current role and (ii) advance to manager? It's a mix of both performing solidly as SC and showing signs that I can handle the next level, but would be very grateful if someone experienced can shed some light! #mentorship

Considering 2 offers:

Pricing strategy manager at mid-tier tech - $150k TC

Strategy & business development senior analyst at mid-tier entertainment company - $110 TC

Concerned about exits in the first role. Concerned about immediate growth and low salary in the second role. Thoughts?

It seems like changing companies every 2-4 years is the best way to having your salary increase exponentially. Is this true for audit, specifically B4? Many people in audit tell me to stay till manager so that I can exit into a more senior role, which I don’t doubt, but I feel like the salary wouldn’t be as high compared to someone in my class who has already exited and bounced companies. Also if you recommend jumping companies, how many years should it be till I do so?

Seems like around every corner there’s a senior copywriter position open but junior positions are few and far between. What’s going on?

wen you make it to the 3rd round (1st round Hr, 2nd round hiring manager, 3rd round panel of senior manager & VP of Finance) do you think there is others I am competing with at that stage or I am the only one and they are just trying to get final approval/ double checking for red flags before they hire me?

I have a SA FDD offer with Grant Thornton that’s offering $97k base. Also interviewing for a Senior Consultant position with FTI consulting in their OCFO solutions practice (Corporate Finance and Restructuring). Made it past the first two interviews, one of them technical, so I’d really have to collapse to mess up getting an offer at this point. The issue is I’ll have to get an extension on accepting GT’s offer. Is waiting for FTI worth it? Insights on salary comp, WLB, etc. is appreciated!!

I have a likely dilemma coming my way and would appreciate peoples’ thoughts:

I have recently accepted a good offer for an exciting role at a mature company, expected to start next week. Now, a company that I turned down in the process - a super interesting startup, pre revenue - have offered me a more senior role (TC tbd).

Roles are similar but companies fundamentally different. I don’t want to burn bridges but think the startup is more aligned with my long term plan.

Am I setting myself up for failure if I push for associate offer?
Got a Bb offer and team is open to me joining either as a senior analyst or junior associate. With 2 yrs of ft exp and lengthy internships before that, I feel like I'm ready for the associate role. However, team head wanted to make sure that I don't underestimate the step-up it'll require on my end and that it'll be very intense. Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance!
I feel like I'd ramp up and it'll be stressful either way.

Anyone have thoughts on DoorDash strategy and operations as an exit as a senior associate?

Would a senior in their promotion year to manager have the same exit opportunities/offers as a newly minted manager that left in less than 2 months after their promo? Trying to decide if the manager title makes a big difference or not and if not, not go through another busy season just to get it.

Any recommendations on how to present myself as more qualified candidate for a Senior Accountant role as someone who has only finished one busy season? A former manager I worked with is referring/vouching for me pretty hard but I’m not sure I’m qualified.

Tried negotiating higher salary but they say they already moved it higher for me & refuse to budge.

Does working in a specific category limit my future career options.

I’ve taken a role at a large agency and am dedicated to a certain account in automotive, in a strategy role.

I’m interested in more lifestyle brands, and would love to go brand side in the lifestyle, music, or more cultural space.

Am I shooting myself in the foot by working strictly on an automotive account as a mid-senior level employee? Will future agencies and/or brands out of that industry pass on me because of

Thoughts on reaching out to a client that you are currently working on about job opportunities with them. They tried to poach me by offering me a senior position 2 years ago but it was a different contact. I want to reach out but I don’t want to cause any rifts.

Thoughts on LEK exit from Deloitte? Is this considered a lateral move or would it be an improvement. Also looking for compensation for a senior consultant.

Starting to plan my exit and am so confused as to how to start. SC at Deloitte, 6 yrs of technical Salesforce experience, but the last year was in non-dev roles (PM, tech lead, functional lead, etc). Do I shoot for manager/senior manager/director/avp roles? Any help would be appreciated!
