Anyone hear of any tech FP&A layoffs?

Digital strategist with tons of experience soup-to-nuts. At this for more years than I care to think. Any tips on finding opportunities client side? It’s only a matter of time before layoffs start

Newbie looking for cloud opportunity just got layoff.Was able to obtain a few AWS certification during my time at the firm. Any help can do

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

Do you have any tips/advise for someone who was laid off recently and early in their career?

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

Layoffs at DH Philly today...

Quiet firings are happening through out the industry right now. Agencies have become better about hiding the layoffs and firings. Not a good thing…

Hi I got a 4 rating this year, in 2 parameters and in one parameter 3. Any danger of a potential layoff. Am a business analyst as societe Generalle GSC Bangalore

Shall I disclose reason for leaving a firm during my initial call with a recruiter from said firm, if I was laid off? Are they privy to that information. Ironically being recruited by that same firm

PwC 🐠: Be careful trying to switch competencies. A colleague of mine tried to move and got laid off in the process. Make sure you have the Partners approval first. (On the receiving end)

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

What are you hearing about Accenture and PIP? Lay offs?

Just found out I got laid off. Cheers to the weekend 🍺

What are the weirdest reasons you have heard for people being laid-off? I have heard someone getting laid off because they missed submitting their time-sheets for 3 times in a year.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Anyone else just waiting for impending layoffs or are we at the end of the recent wave?

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

Is it better to quit or get laid off? I know what to look for when being pushed out and with a combination of the work I don’t have and the work the firm seemingly doesn’t have, it just feels like a mess. I’ll note I have other job offers lined up because I felt uneasy here for a bit.

Hi fishes,

I have received my first offer letter which they wanted me to accept by e- signing it and after i did that they have sent out form 11 and other documents to be filled in 2 days.
I have never filled form 11 and other personal details untill 1 week before my joining date.

My joining date would be after my notice period which is usually 2 months.
Should I share the person details and form 11 they asked for now itself?
Will it be a problem if i don't wish to join the company later?

I’m an analyst & have been working towards associate – I was recently offered an associate role on a different team, but simultaneously am feeling burned out and thinking of leaving the firm within the next 6-8 months to work at a smaller company. I want to accept the associate role for my own professional development and growth. Tips on leaving a role after 6 months without burning bridges? Is that possible? I feel somewhat guilty about leaving my team, but know I have to prioritize my career

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Analyticon has been rescheduled for January 2021

How do you start waking up early? Always been a night owl and sleep around 1. Wake up at 8/8:30 right before work starts.
I need to start waking up early to get into workout /yoga and meditation routine. I tried today and kept snoozing my alarm for 2 hours.
Weekend is way worse when I sleep around 3 wake up around 10/11

How do I leave my role as someone on the talent team. I am on a small recruitment team of only a few people, who connect daily. I am also responsible for sending out updates tracking new hires and upcoming leavers (aka I would be on this list if i decide to leave). If I am looking to leave my company, considering all of these things, how do I do it in the least awkward, most professional way possible? I want to put in at least a two week notice, but will continuing my work after that be weird?

Help!! I have a student who puts absolutely everything in his mouth - crayons, markers, grass, mulch, paper towels, etc. How can I redirect him? He has a chewy but won’t use it. He’s 3.

Are all the fish in this bowl dead? Did everyone migrate to a better bowl?

Welcome friends! Feel free to share anything you would like!

Do you folks work the weekend as well? What is your close calendar like. Anything that makes your company uniquely efficient/inefficient?

Hi everyone, anyone know of opening at their company that will connect? I’ve been doing FP&A work in higher Education for about 6 years and would like to break into Tech/fintech. I have an MBA and all the relevant experience (KPIs, modeling, ad box analysis etc…)

Welcome to the FP&A Bowl. I came on this app looking for a place to connect with others working in corporate planning but saw that there was no Bowl for us, so I created it! Hope you’re all doing well

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

I do FP&A work for a manufacturing company, doing reporting, ME close work & sales reports and forecasting. They’re letting me pick my title, I’m not sure what to go with. Is Analyst - FP&A redundant?

Hey all,

I’m trying to switch over to an FP&A role from a wealth management analyst role. Has anyone had experience doing so, and does anyone have any referrals? Thank you!

Hi I just lost my job due to Covid-19. Can anyone help? I have 10 years of experience in FP&A worked for Goldman and BMO

How many hours a week do you actually work. Sitting in front of a screen working? Also. Are you remote, hybrid of 5 days a week in office. Just gauging other peoples lives ahaha

I’ve landed a job in a global investment bank for a business analyst in FP&A. I have 1 year of relevant experience. I live in MCOL city, what salary can I accept?

I work in FP&A consolidations at a large sell side bank. I moved internally after working in the planning group of a Working Capital Solutions business. I often feel like I would enjoy client facing or advisory work because it would help me build a skill that could translate to me potentially running my own advisory firm one day… I feel my role just looks at numbers on a page which doesn’t help me develop translatable subject matter skills or expertise. I don’t want to be a robot. Any advice?

I'm 4 years into my career, currently I work at one of the largest public advisory firms writing research and taking advisory calls with CIOs/CFOs on strategy around IT Cost Optimization, IT/technology finance, benchmarking, budgeting etc. I enjoy the role but fear not being able to do much with this experience. I fear this due to the fact that I simply talk strategy and roadmaps with no technical experience of having ever done these activities myself.

Looking to begin a career in Financial Analytics. I am an Economics major that graduated in Dec 2020. Since then I have been an Operations Analyst at a FinTech company. I also have some past experience as an analyst at a small business lending company in college. I have been applying for jobs for the past ~6 months. I have made it to the final round of a few interviews, but have not received any offers. Does anyone have any advice for me? I would greatly appreciate any insight.

For those who have to report on financial performance regularly to either the CFO or related execs: how do you get past the nerves? Honestly my work culture is super chill but I still get anxiety.

Any tips/advise for a MBA grad that is looking at FP&A career?

What challenges have you all faced in light of COVID and how have you adapted models/forecasts?
