Anyone gone from Risk Assurance at Big Four to Equity Research? Currently studying for Level 1

How tough is it to make the jump from SMB SAAS to Mid-market type roles? I’ve been annihilating my quota in my current role for the past 18 months, but on pretty small deal sizes. (Also I have no college degree) will sales managers care more about the performance record? Or more about the lack of big deal experience?

My salary just got frozen @ 55.5k (SALT Tax, 1 year of experience). Should I start interviewing for other jobs? Worth it to stay 1 more year and “maybe” make senior? (PwC is 3 yrs to senior standard, 2 yr is early)

I have a Master’s in Accounting, and have 1 more CPA test then I’ll be done. Not sure if I have a strong enough resume to receive decent exit opportunities as a first year associate. I’m about to have busy season again and work 60,70,80,90 hour weeks at my low salary. Please advise!!

Low billable, low pressure work in privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on. Currently a tech litigation associate with lots of hearing, depo and trial experience (I’ve appeared on my own at hearings/depos) at a well respected firm. I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.

Anything else I should know before I quit my job and persue this dream?

Many in my MBA program are hyper grade focused. Do grades matter that much post MBA for future job opps at all? My approach has been to balance academics with relationship building and practicing exec presence and for me, pivoting to a new industry

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Hey guys I’m trying to figure out the market rate for a staff tax accounting position as I am new to the industry. I am looking in Long Island New York any help would be great. Looking to start at a mid sized firm.

I've decided to leave public for an Accounting Manager position in private. What are the different types of companies to consider and the pros/cons? What are the best ways to get the position? I'm leaning toward GL accounting at a publicly-traded company. My background is 3.5 years audit and 2.5 years technical accounting advisory.

What’s your advise for someone looking to get into soft IP litigation (not an engineering / science major) but have been working in L&E for 3 years now. I want to make the move, but feel like my background makes firms not want me. I’ve applied to a few places but don’t get an interview. I know my litigation skills are top notch — so I don’t know what to do. I started branching out to orgs to network , but any other ideas?

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour. I technically can make bonuses but I’m not supposed to dig into a sale and I have to send it to a sales rep (I am service and retention mostly). My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

Anyone here moved from EY to Accenture? Curious to know how was the shift, pros and cons for each company, any regrets? Waiting for an offer from Accenture but very conflicted on whether I should leave EY. Been there all my career and going to be a big jump.

Happy Friday! 🥳

Is anyone interested in becoming a mentor? Please comment below!

Should I still take L2 in Dec or push it to next May? 4.5 hrs in front of a computer sounds way better than 6 hrs filling in bubbles

Thinking of getting a CFA; would appreciate recommendations on test prep providers.

I think it went okay

It's an understatement

Highly recommend this one cfa your Dm me

Is it true the Feb exams are being postponed now?

How early do you start studying for Level 3? And is it harder than level 2? I’m a little nervous since there’s a written part now.

Selling 2020 CFA Level 2 Kaplan Schweser study set including all topic books, practice exam books, Schweser weekly class workbooks, and master class materials. The 2020 curriculum is frozen for the 2021 exams! Let me know if interested!

Who believes the whole 300 hours of study rule of thumb?

What’s the best course for CFA level 2? Kaplan vs Wiley or Fitch learning? Thanks

Thoughts on that cfa institute email today. Are you changing test center location? Currently registered for DC but I think if a location is going to close that’s probably up there in likelihood.

Has anyone without any financial experience taken the CFA? I work in a different industry and I want to take the CFA in order to get hired into a bank. Has anyone done it?

How far did CFA take you? Is it respected within IB? Would love to know if it was worth it for everyone

Nothing like losing an entire day of studying because Kaplan was down all day yesterday. Make sure you download the QBank for offline use, seems like this keeps happening on Sunday for some reason.

Thoughts on computer based vs paper based? I’m taking L1. Time being shorter def sounds like a plus. Are we gonna be the collateral damage of a fresh experiment lol?

Have people started studying again for the exams since the new dates have been released?

Anyone feeling ready? I'm on LIII and have yet to take a mock ...

Any experience with test prep providers? Any thoughts on Mark Meldrum or Schweser?

Anyone else doing the level 1 CFA final review with Kaplan? It’s like a workshop from the 22-24th?

Has anyone successfully deferred their exam for the august window? If I defer now can I sit the exam in November?
