Dying industry

All depends where I guess. But on most cases you’ll get an initial salary bump - but will get passed over by external big 4 hires come promotion time. Like someone mentioned it’s a dying industry that will be mostly automized in the next ten years

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?
