Anyone have any experience going from FDD > M&A IB > FDD? I have my CPA and also pursuing CFA Level 1. While I feel my background suits me more on the accounting/FDD side, the M&A comp potential seems much greater. Would love your thoughts!

You should be doing what you have a passion for, not simply chasing money.

Is it possible to go FDD ->IB -> FDD? Sure, anything is possible and you could craft a good story on the experience but you won’t get paid IB dollars in FDD.

I want to ask for a 20%raise, knowing that the company is planning the year budget around now should I give my manager a heads up as to what I’m expecting before my salary review? I got a 0.6% raise at the start of 2020 and a 4% in April this year. The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).

Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions

2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

She said offer may take some time due to new year holidays. Now they are saying they have freezed all the new offers.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.

Best place to work as a retirement consultant? Empower, Fidelity, Vanguard, T. Rowe, Lincoln, etc? New to field and want to get a sense of where my salary is at compared to competitors.
