What if you don’t have an interest in pursuing those opportunities you speak of? I have been looking into rev analyst jobs as well because it sounds more interesting to me and I am not looking to become a controller. It’s not always about prestige and making the most money for everyone.

Can’t argue with that. Make sure the new company has room for upward mobility. Good luck.

Good luck! Definitely continue pursuing your dreams. Money and prestige are good but are not always a solution to happy life.

Didn't even know that was a job

In my opinion, don’t do that. You start at a big 4 to get a job where you can make decisions (controller and above) and not to crunch numbers.

And thank you!

Any time ;)

I probably used too derogatory of a term to describe the rev analyst position. Of course it is more than number crunching. However, in comparison to other opportunities available to big4 alumni (if you stick around long enough and gain good experience), it may be on the weaker end of the spectrum..

Pwc 2, that's exactly where I'm at. So I'm looking for more accounting based roles that may get good enough to finance to eventually fully pivot. It's possible

Yeah same, looking into accounting roles where analytical tasks are included, then transition. I've seen a lot of people on linkedin who managed to do the same.

Thanks you too!

This role doesn't seem ideal with new rev rec standard required in a few years

If you know 606, a revenue manager job is a great spot to go. You still need analysts to review the contracts and verify output, even if using a revenue management system to automate the process.

What kinds of models can I create for low frequency businesses?

I recently switched to a startup at a data analyst role and have been teaching myself about statistics…I found survival analysis models and wanted to try and implement one to determine our customer retention rate and eventually a LTV

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
