Applied for a job as a PMO Analyst at a Bank with the range between $80K-$90K. (Final Interview is on Monday) I live in San Antonio with a low cost of living. Have an MBA (regional) and my PMP.

I don’t have much work experience because I just finished my contract with the military. Is this a good salary for this role and are there any career opportunities to branch into as far as leadership positions for the future?

MBA and PMP… why pursue an analyst role? You’re too overqualified imo. The military is work experience.. don’t undersell yourself. Apply for manager roles. I have a contact who does resume services (did mine) that has had a lot of success helping veterans land high level corporate jobs - lmk if you’re interested

@D1 upskilling to what? Tech skills, more certs? My concern is not taking a role now, with the recession looming, jobs being cut, hiring freezes, and risking having a bigger gap in my employment, but at the same time i don’t want a role that’s going to hinder my career outlook

Would they take me?? I’d definitely go that route I’m not afraid to grind it out. Military had me working 80 hour work weeks for way less pay

hi all, currently have two offers:

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
