Currently making a career switch from teaching to something in accounting. I’m graduating with my Master’s in Accounting in December.. I just wanted to ask for advise to see what a smart move would be from here? Should I get an internship? Should I jump into a full time position? Do firms hire students full time?

If you can get some sort of accounting internship during the summer at a b4, that would be great, but chances of that are low I assume since summer is usually a slow period. I’m not sure a winter internship of next yr would make sense since you would already be graduated.

Try going for full time audit? (I assume that’s where you want to start) at a b4 and maybe some mid caps and see what you can land. Yes, they hire students full time.

Hello Everyone!

I'm looking for part time sales development and market research roles in the UK. I have totally 6.5 years sales development experience in SaaS sales and currently pursuing MBA. It'd be great help if you can refer me or share job openings so I can apply! Open to connect to have discussion.

Thanks in advance!

My total experience is around 7+ years and am currently working in a MNC from the past 4 years. I was planning to make a switch to some other company but recently my manager has mentioned to me in person and as well as on my appraisal feedback (in writing) that I will be nominated for the H1B visa in the coming cycle. This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
