Do any senior associates feel that they have a decent shot at making partner? Do you plan to go for it?

Hi all,
Please refer me for AI/ML engineer and Data analyst-Engineer post.

I'm looking forward to make a switch towards AI/ML and Data science field. I've an experience of 2.5 years in the field of industrial automation but I really think this field is outdated with no more exciting job opportunities. I really feel that I'm stuck here and I hope you can understand my situation.

I'm willing to work as a fresher if required, but I want to move on.

I'm thinking of a career shift from Sales into Marketing, CS, or Sales Ops, and I want to be sure any change is a side step/step forward rather than backwards. I don't have a "mentor" who's well established in anything business related that I can talk with transparently. Any thoughts from those with more familiarity in the field?

I'm working as a Siebel admin from 4 years and have very basic knowledge on configuration and was able to crack an offer from one of the service based companies. Planning to learn Siebel from any of the coaching institutions before the joining date.

I have tax provision experience. Worked for public for 3.5 years. And finishing my year in industry. I loved public because it had a more consulting role - interaction with clients, multiple teams, and variety in my work. Now that I am in industry, it’s more technical and less interactions with people in general. It has made me realize, I don’t think I actually like taxes. Has anyone faced a similar dilemma and what other opportunities did you pursue after? Also don’t want to be a senior foever

Data Scientist & Senior Consultant at IBM in the commercial space. Thinking about moving to a bigger firm with more work. Any advice on how to land another gig, without the drawn out process?

Just jumped to industry from doing IT audits, first day in the job and it feels like the controls here seems super subpar. The higher ups seems to have different focus; business needs first, how should I focus and progress in such environment?

I'm a financial services audit manager (going to be a 2nd year manager in 2 weeks) and looking to transition into corporate/operational FP&A. My long term goal is to become a CFO so I believe that I will need more finance exposure which I don't really get with my current role. Any thoughts how difficult to get an FP&A job with this experience and whether I can get an FP&A manager title? Also, can anyone share the WLB and work hours in FP&A?

Have been thinking of getting my CFA (already have CPA), and want people's experiences. I majored in accounting, so wondering how impossible the CFA would feel since I only took 2 finance classes.

To those who left audit for tax, why did you move? Guess I’m trying to feel better about being in tax and missing out on the audit experience having.

I think I would be good with operational finance (like day to day accounting, leading people, process improvements) but I don’t think I can achieve that with just tax experience.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Obviously the "ideal" is 100%, but as the junior attorney at a small firm, I'm do the guy taking all the prospective client cold calls, and it can seriously cut into my day.

My goal has been to spend at least 75% of my time on billable work. Reasonable?

Last week, I mentioned that I needed to take an appointment (my therapy appointment) this Wednesday at noon. I also mentioned that this is a medical appointment, and I don’t feel comfortable moving the appointment. I just received an email that I need to be available. How can I stick to my boundary?

The best thing for my anxiety and depression has been admitting to myself I despise my job and career, and likely the corporate world, and that attempting to continue climbing the ladder was causing pretty much all my mental turmoil. Moving up the ladder is a fools errand. Every day my mind was fighting me for trying to get promoted because I knew it was meaningless. So with that said, mental health has been best it’s been in a long time. For anyone else in a similar boat, hope it helps.

Tips for dealing with the “Sunday scaries” as exacerbated by severe anxiety? Sunday nights I always end up staying up too late because I dread Monday morning so intensely.

Dealing with post partum dep/anx. On my 5th day of Zoloft 50mg for the first time and the days are still really really hard. Is it the side effects? How long before I should feel somewhat better/normal? Really struggling today. Any insight into your experience would mean a lot.

A letter to my ex..

Please see comments. Apologies for the length

I have good and bad days. Today was a bad day. I woke up with horrible anxiety and had to calm myself down for two hours while also in and out of sleep. I cant keep being inconsistent. Any suggestions

I started Zoloft almost 2 months ago. It’s helped with my anxiety and depression but I’m worried I’m feeling the emotional numbing/blunting. I say this because 1) my car died and I did not care to call AAA until my bf insisted and 2) I have an interview for a job in 2 hrs I really want yet I cannot care to interview prep. I just feel so blasé about everything. I took off work thinking I’d interview prep but so far have just lounged around watching TV. Any advice? I need to get my head straight.

Mind feels like it’s on a hamster wheel every single day and just won’t stop.

The amount of institutional failures at my firm is causing me to have a mental breakdown. I find myself screaming at no one in my apartment, alone, at least 12x per day. Normally I could blame increase in workload on clients or random uncontrollable world events. But it’s right now it’s just us, we just suck so bad. I want to quit so bad and just sit in silence for hours.

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Canada for a job that I was initially thrilled about and very qualified for. However the first few months were difficult as a new immigrant and having to deal with a "start up" environment (I came from a larger, more structured institution). I've dealt with heavy competition and insecure leaders. It's been a real up and down experience for me and I lost a lot of professional confidence. Any advice if I should say and fight, move on,or take a work pause? Thanks.

Ever feel like you’re drinking the firm koolaid for too long? I’m 6 years in and am starting to have a career crisis. I worry about waking up to the same place I am in today 10-20 years from now.

Spent 10 yrs in therapy. Took a break for a few years. Scheduled first appt again today for 2 weeks from now. Glad that I have it on the books after months of research

I’m so anxious about my BIL’s fiancé’s bridal shower. My in laws - the entire side has decided Covid isn’t really a thing and have been living their lives like normal since May. None of them have it as far as we know, but my MIL is insisting they have to have a wedding this year and have to have a shower for his fiancé. I totally get that, but I don’t feel comfortable being around them

I had an interview last week and waiting is raising my anxiety. I am on anxiety medications and it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know why I am getting anxious as I already know I can not control the

Can you take leave for depression and chronic fatigue?

Does anybody use any mental health journals (digital or hardcopy)? If so, any recommendations? I’m trying to work on anxiety and slight depression/body dysmorphia. Thanks!

Trying to find a psychologist that allows my insurance and almost nothing available. However, a lot of options for therapists / counselors that specialize in anxiety and depression. Really don’t want to see a psychiatrist yet because I want to try to “cure” my issues without medication until it’s truly needed and recommended. Have therapists helped you? What’s the difference other than a psychologist having a PhD I guess?

Working non-audit, non-client facing. Firm talks a good line about work-life balance but lately it's expected to attend 4am calls. Work late. Get something done over the weekend. It's taking a major toll on my mental health and starting to impact my physical health. I've never not loved my job and I'm starting to dread signing on. Any tips on the right approach to discuss with...idk whom. But someone?
