are there any roles within an accounting firm that look for cfp or the series exams instead of cpa?

Would love some advice / thoughts. I went straight from law school to a corporate legal department in house for an asset manager. They like “home grown” talent and I “be worked hard and risen relatively quickly (AGC in 9 years). I work hard and get a lot of complicated deals done (structured products and private funds). I can’t shake certain people (in compliance department mainly) thinking I don’t have enough experience to do what I do because I didn’t come from a law firm. Any advice?

For those taking the CFA exams this Saturday, do you feel prepared? Thinking of postponing mine.

What are the cheapest study materials to study for the CFE? I didn’t want to pay out 1k+ for the prep course from ACFE.

Hi there, I’m looking to become an Advisor. I’m not sure where to start. I’m currently a Relationship Manager with over 8 years experience looking to jump to the Securities world. Any suggestions???

I’ve worked for many companies involving creative traditional/digital artwork, but my last job threw my health under the bus, so now my current has very little creative work and work with databases..

My question is: what was the thing that helped you get back into a creative job?

Revamping your resume? Personal projects? Starting your own company?

I feel like there are so many doors that are open I just lose steam haha.

Hi fish,

Kindly consider this as most confused situation of my life and reply.

Does a non-tech PMO candidate can also achieve 30-50 LPA in just 5-6 years of experience as you technical people are achieving.

Please also suggest, should I continue in this PMO and go for PMP, Prince2 then try or just learn some technical things and then can only expect this much package?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

Got PwC Associate position in MC. They offered 20fixed + upto 20%variable (after a lot of negotiations). I think they lowballed me. 🥺

I was Sr. associate in previous organisation. (Ctc 15+)

Background: Old IIM MBA
Work ex: Total 4+ years. ( 2+ post mba, 2 pre mba)

I am not able to justify the designation to myself. What are your views? please help me rationalize if I was lowballed or not.

Thanks!

Left consulting mid-career to start afresh in a new role. It’s been half a year and not enjoying the nature of the work. Is it too soon to call it quits or am I falling prey to the sunk cost fallacy?

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.

Stay or go ?

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc. Targeted marketing and prospecting) has been self taught and I feel like I am lacking professional knowledge if I was to move onto a different company, especially considering that I am not involved in the full sales cycle.

Full time T25 (full scholarship) vs. Part time M7 (employer sponsored)?

Currently in Accounting/Finance and probably plan to eventually move closer to Strategy/Corporate Finance Strategy.

Is it a good time to switch jobs

When, if ever, do you add “Esq.” to your name outside of work?

I’m currently in a minor dispute with a company over a credit card overcharge and am wondering if I should have added “Esq.” to my signature in my complaint email lol.

Any tips for building a client base from scratch? I’m a 4th year associate at a firm of 12 attorneys. I practice in business, compliance, and real estate (primarily on partners’ files) and don’t litigate. Most of the partners’ clients are wealthy friends or friends of friends (not my circle). Associates are not referred business, even cold calls, and so far “networking” events like Chamber of Commerce luncheons have been a bust. I equate a book to autonomy and career choice and pressure is on.

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

Anyone else job hunting during busy season?

FAANG is now MAMAA (Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet)…Whoa Mama! As if there weren’t enough acronyms in our lives. Happy Friday All!!!

Hey KPMG how is life in the FRM advisory? Got a job offer from them

Team is already talking about eating hours. My utilization is down cause I was in unassigned for a month in Dec/Jan. What's worse pissing off the partner or having a low utilization? -staff 1

Do certain branches of advisory typically pay better than others? If so which ones? How about FDD?

How’s the SF KPMG office in terms of the people/culture?

Last day. Just handed in my laptop, access card, etc. I feel nothing. Indifferent. Guess I was more "done" than I thought.

Seriously! A coworker is talking about her degree in history and she wrote her senior thesis on June Cleaver. How does she work at a B4? Of course, her Dad was the Partner's son's HS football coach.

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

I’m a staff 2. About to be senior and want to relocate cities... how does one bring this up to their manager/counselor without possibly upsetting them.

Hoping for help w/ studying. TRANSACTION CYCLES?? I see inconsistent lists online and in books: (Revenue, Purchasing, Inventory, Payroll) vs (Sales, Purchasing, Payroll, Financing) vs....

Would PwC reimburse me if I study for my CFE and it is not required for my current job?

I hate my life. I'm on the last chapter of FAR and it's my last exam...I hate this shit...all for something we are expected to get not something prestigious...excuse my petty rant.

Anyone have any good book recommendations around building passive income sources/building wealth?

Anyone from kpmg know if they offer Kaiser medical insurance? From the dc metro area

I resigned yesterday evening.. today morning conversation with counselor and People Consultant went very cold... anyways piece out..

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

Does anyone have experience or know of someone who went on a FWA (part-time) but didn't have kids? I'm unmarried and no kids but considering a move to 30 or so hrs/week for my sanity.
