Financial analyst can mean anything from accounting to IT

Solid point- accounting/finance focused

Left after 1.5 years in public as a financial analyst in industry at a tech company. Great decision, work is a lot more engaging and interesting and I learned a lot through on the job training. Most of my group came out of public accounting

@PwC2 thanks for the insight. Is this a small start up tech company? Or a blue chip?

Pwc2 what are your hours like? This guy on the Amazon bowl was saying they work PA hours.

What LOS were you pwc2

Hours typically 8-6. Sometimes a little more sometimes a little less. Came from risk assurance

Maybe bigger tech companies require same hours? Thanks tho 8 to 6 would not be a deal killer for me

The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.

Need Advice:

An agency I’ve gotten a lot of work from reached out about a five-week gig. After I accepted, it was downgraded to two weeks.

Since, the KO meeting has been pushed back twice, a week total, so the project is starting a week after the initial email agreement. They’re not paying for the time I’ve been waiting.

On the one hand, it’s been slow and I don’t have a competing offer, (actual leverage). On the other hand, it’s disrespectful of my time.
