Do you still see finance as a strong long-term career path? I do, but only if you’re willing to evolve beyond being “the numbers person” into a business partner.

Wow how insightful

See I’m kind of stuck here. Because I don’t know that I necessarily want to be a business partner. I absolutely love the numbers and wish I could spend my whole career just working with them. Meetings and collaborating throw off my groove.

I feel this sometimes as well!

Long-term doesn’t have to mean upward if that isn’t your goal. I just want stability and not making big decisions.

Finance sucks
Worst mistake I made coming off of trading and looking to transition/ cool down

If it was up to me, would fire 80% + working here

Jack assess spend 12-14hrs mumbling and rattling on calls over something that could’ve ended in 5 mins over an email.
Don’t bring a single dime to the table - 0 f’n $ - and yet act like they know everything and are actually running billion dollar businesses.

If it is so good then why don’t finance folks run their own businesses.
All they do is carry toxicity - worst use of company $

Personally, I see it as a stable job, but not a fulfilling one. I am 24 so my plan is to grow my side hustle a bit more and then have finance as a part time job to give me a steady income.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

VENT: I feel completely demotivated after our new FOW announcement and it gave me whiplash.

I didn’t choose to live here/move, the company chose ME where I’m at. I feel like I don’t belong because everyone else seems happy with this.
