Currently a BDR for only Fortune 1000 clients.
Have a BSBA from a very large school, but I don’t think it holds too much weight.

After a bit in this role, I want to start planning for the next step. Should I get an MBA?

Idk if I want to move out of sales and go into finance. Any recommendations?

Helped run one of the largest undergrad investing clubs in the nation and use to me president of the university’s private equity / VC club.

I have hit my wall. I cannot do public accounting any longer. I cannot deal with the constant focus on compliance, billable hour and the general unproductive behaviors/mindsets. I remember a day when we were here to help clients. Now I just feel like we are here to bill clients. I want to go help someone build something.
Now I just need to figure out how a director with a tax background can have transferable skills to something else...

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line
