Your exit is as good as your network.

I’ve seen a lot of Portco VP finance / PE “consultant” type stuff, IB, MM private equity, blackstone valuation group, strategic finance at FAANG, internal moves into S&. I’ve also seen very lackluster exits.

My opinion - this job is a dead end if you stay. I started in audit and my comp has more than tripled in my 5 years. Time to go.

MM FDD def feels like a dead end. It’s been challenging even to find an FP&A job bc everybody wants 10 years of modeling and wants to pay only 100k.

But, the wlb isn’t bad and the pay outpaces anything I can find.

Only been doing this for a little while so would love to hear more experienced opinions.

FP&A is the only exit with better wlb, maybe corp dev at a company that’s not very active

I’m doing fp&a and accounting

I accepted a job offer in April to start a few months from now, post clerkship. All conflicts/background check went smoothly etc. Since accepting my offer, the firm has increased their 1st year pay across the board to be higher than my offer was (which was, at the time, what 2nd yeas got). When should I reach out to the recruitment attorney leading up to my start date? Or should I? (Haven't spoken since May) Should I bring up the salary or just assume its higher?

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

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.
