Anyone know if a fund accountant is a good job? I’m getting a lot of recruiter mail for that. Is it less hours than tax or less stressful. Any feedback helps! Thanks!

I was a fund accountant for 2 years. It definitely feels like less hours since there’s no “busy season”, but the first two weeks of every month is basically blacked out, so you can’t take PTO because it’s month end close. And then of course January gets busy because of year end close. So hours-wise, it’s spread out throughout the year whereas audit and tax in public accounting is concentrated within a few set months of the year. The reason why I left was because it began to feel like groundhogs day every month and the work was getting repetitive. I strive on new challenges and having multiple types of clients. For stress, it’s still client facing so you still have pressure to deliver packages on time based on the client’s deadline.

Don’t leave yet. It’s a fine job, but 1 year of PA doesn’t do the trick. People respect the grind to senior. One and done looks like you can’t hack it.

Hello,

I received a phone call from Airtel Digital yesterday. They are looking for Java Backend Engineers. The HR asked me about my NP. I honestly told them 90 days, but they are looking for someone to join in 45 days. I told her that I could finish my work in 60 days and join Airtel in 60 days, but she was not agreeing. She told me to start servicing notice.
The question is, how can I convince HR?
I have a total of 1.3 years of experience.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!
