Hi Everyone,
I just received an offer to work as an software sales representative (SDR) for IBMs Z systems. I'm coming as a sales engineer in the cloud security space. Can anyone advise me on whether Z systems are something worth going into? Also what do the growth opportunities look like at IBM? Is there opportunity for lateral movement onto other teams? Not too sure how I feel about working on mainframes (Z systems) but they keep pitching hybrid cloud to me. IBM

The BO job will still be accounting. Just because it’s a PE firm that doesn’t mean you will be doing a radically different than any other type of firm. Also, BO isn’t the bottom of the barrel at PE, VC, BB, so that’s something to consider. Personally I’d rather be in a revenue generating role in advisory than a cost center in BO accounting.
But at the same time I enjoy being client facing in audit which is why I like Deal Advisory
I am going to FDD because I am in the same boat with you. FDD would expose you to more finance related roles even though it has lots of accounting stuff in the job itself.
My goal when I started looking was ultimately a finance role though - my dream job/career goal is a CFO at a PE or Bank but obviously still very early in my career so anything could change! Worried about pigeon holing myself too much because not sure what I want to do
Do you have your cpa OP?
Yes
How much is the PE firm paying and what are its hours like? Big 4 transactions can be brutally unpredictable with long hours and really doesn’t pay that great for the effort involved (although exit opps can be good). On the other hand BO at a PE is pretty niche but if you like the work and don’t mind making a career out of it the pay is higher than most industries. Only problem is PE culture might mean longer hours in comparison to most industry exits
