An assoc just took a role at Blackstone as an Analyst yet she is an accountant, why would her title say analyst?

The hierarchy in Banking/PE begins at Analyst > Associate > AVP > VP > Director.

Assuming she's 1-2 years into audit and at an Associate level, this would be a lateral move to an Analyst level in Banking/PE.

Yeaaaah i wouldn't bother too much of whether you actually analyse so much but that's how the hierarchy is.

Could also not be client facing. Might be a title used for internal teams too

Analyst is entry level for most PE funds. Pretty uncommon to go from an audit/accounting associate to an analyst on the deals team though. Unless otherwise specified she likely used her experience to lateral to Blackstone as an accounting analyst, operations analyst, or compliance analyst which are pretty common exits

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I am a Strategic Sourcing Manager with 7 YOE in both direct and indirect spend across various industries (Life sciences, IT and Insurance) I have been offered a role with Fidelity for 13 lpa + 1.5 variable. Offer seems better than the national average for similar roles but I feel I would be underpaid based on the current market, my skills and value I will be bringing to the table. Any suggestions for offer negotiations?
