Currently revenue accounting manager at SaaS company, just received an offer for Sr. Revenue Financial Analyst role at a large startup. Does anyone have experience going from accounting to finance and have any insights on what to consider besides compensation? The comp is comparable but startup RSUs definitely have much more potential than my current equity. Thanks in advance!

Hi friends,

I am new to Canada and applying jobs via Linkedin / Indeed in IB / Corporate Development / Private equity roles. However, no success so far. Had also gone through 3 rounds of discussion (without any opening) with a leading Canadian Bank. I have a few questions for you.

1. Should i start shooting my resume with cover letter on linkedin profile of IB Directors / VPs / Associates
2. What should be the frequency of follow up with bankers in the bank in which i had discussion already

Working on applications for academic positions (tenure-track), and finding it extremely difficult to write a research statement that is not too close to my current research that hiring faculty would think I lack originality, but also not too far-fetched/unrealistic or on topics that I find interesting but has insufficient knowledge/expertise.

Any tips?

Hello,

I want referral for java developer with Spring boot and Microservices with 2+ years of experience. I am in notice period.

Where does Quinn Emanuel post professional/business staff positions? I’ve seen several recruiter contact emails on the website only for associate/attorney hiring. I can’t seem to find any paralegal/analyst/PM jobs anywhere for QE. If anyone knows where they post their positions, it’d be helpful. Thanks.

What does it mean when you apply to a bunch of jobs for which I am a good fit and you hear nothing back for these jobs? For some applications, I'm approaching two weeks since submission. I did get a call back to the first position I applied to; however, after the lab manager saw how much experience I had he said to release me, far too overqualified, tell him he should be applying to Senior Research Associate positions. I have ten years lab experience.

Question: my job was elimated in the beginning of April so now actively searching for work. Is it okay to let the recruiter im interviewing with that my role was eliminated when they ask the question “why are you looking for a new role?”

Hello Fishes

Completed all the rounds in Service now for full stack developer - Staff Software Engineer role.
YOE: 9.5
Current CTC: 43 (Including VP + RSUs)
Tech stack : Java + Frontend


Note: Hike is due in current company..
What should be the ideal CTC I should ask for during the negotiation ?

Experienced in SAP? Feel free to chat with me if you're looking for a new position. Looks like we are have a hiring surge at my location.

I received a job offer with a probationary period that requires targets are met to obtain the full salary I requested. While this is not a pure sales role, biz dev and revenue are part of the responsibility of managing a 30pp department in this role.

One target requires I increase team revenue by 20% in 6 months. They haven't shared current revenue info yet, but 20% on ANY number seems really high, especially in the first 6 months.

What are some reasonable revenue increase goals you've had?

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

Anyone work in HR for Amazon? We have a new distribution center hiring some different HR positions and I’m curious about salary? Are you willing to share? I have bachelors in HR Management, SHRM-Cp, and 5 years exp

RSM has been showing interest. Can any former EY workers speak to how transitioning to RSM has been for them? How’s it been? Was it worth it? Any insight is helpful.

HP chromebook or MacBook? Joining accounting function at google if that makes a difference.

S there any policy in amazon that the interviewee should not give interview for 2 different profiles simultaneously

So I have been navigating the world of contracts since I was about 18 & I recently have obtained certifications to better my situation, but it seems the job descriptions in this specific job market are so all over the place I have my CompTIA security plus I am currently looking into getting my ISC as well.. but overall, I feel really lost after obtaining my previous certifications. I’m not sure how to tailor my résumé to get out of it helpdesk, and into cyber security. If anyone has any tips
