Hi Everyone currently i am working as Business Analyst n got offer from IBM to join as a Senior Project Manager , is it good time to leave existing organizations based on current market situation and what would be the role of SBM as i don't have any experience in project management ?

How to get out of the IA/SOX consulting space? Feel like there’s very limited opportunities in industry. Once you do get an industry IA role then there’s not much flexibility and basically you’re everyone’s b*tch.

My doubt is do they have any different roles in Manager position itself?

I’m currently a relationship banker for Santander in NYC with 3 years of experience, and will have the opportunity to get promoted into a senior/private banker role soon that pays 70k - 85k, when you include commissions + bonuses.

The problem is that I enjoy working with numbers and doing analytical work more than sales and relationship management.

I’m feeling a bit stuck where I am, so I was wondering if anyone knew a good transition into an analytical role from retail banking?

Hey Fishes,

Could you help me understand a way to find out whether one is eligible for promotion to next level?

I left public accounting for industry about 1.5 years ago. I was a senior in a PCS group. I'll be looking to get back into PA in a PCS group once I get licensed. Does being out of PA for 2 years mean I should look for an experienced staff role, or could I get a senior position? My industry role isn't tax related, so I would have to get back up to speed on all the tax changes in the past couple of years.

Hi Fishes,

Need one help. In my project there is no growth of learning new technologies. So I have decided to take up the interviews for job change in Analytics domain.

So I decided to take up any certifications to learn ...can you please suggest me which one is better like IBM data analyst, Google data analytics etc..?

Outside of your day job, how do you learn the high level technical aspects of salesforce? I’m a functional lead at a big 4 consulting company on a long term project (more strategy and PM work) but want to have better technical understanding. I don’t want to be a tech lead, but enough to have educated conversations with clients (architecture, data model, integrations, privacy, refresh specifics, etc), and potentially work towards Solution Architect. Any advice would be highly appreciated!

I worked at a large insurance defense firm for 4 years out of law school. I really enjoyed the work itself, but the hour expectations kept increasing and I was getting burnt out. I decided to try a new type of law and have been at the new firm 3 months. I have way less responsibilities and none of my own cases. I’m worried this was a wrong move/too far of a step backwards. I know I don’t see myself here long term, but I’m not sure how long I need to stay to avoid looking like a job hopper—help!

Has anyone gone from audit to analytics type fpa? I’m coming up on manager year and I am kind of sick of accounting. Something for sales development on different product lines seems interesting. Not really sure what is out there / where to start. It’s hard to figure out what “titles/roles” to search for without knowing the true day to day tasks vs the job description (if that makes sense) I feel like I need to job shadow someone to know if I’m interested in what they do vs read bulletpoints

Any advice for someone wanting / needing to move out of accounting and into finance? How can I demonstrate the transferability of skills when I have no "true" finance experience?

Waiting to hear back on an opportunity at an awesome company. They haven't officially passed on me (like they have for others), but they haven't extended an offer. Sounds like they're bringing in more candidates as well.

Is this a red flag? Should I be worried if I do get an offer about working for a company that is waiting for better candidates and holding on me a a second choice?

So coming up to my 3 years at UK KPMG Audit, and I got an offer from a food delivery tech company (think Ubereats, Deliveroo, Doordash etc) for a performance analyst type role which monitors/reports metrics for the Operations.

I'm interested in tech and thought this was a possible to foot in the door for future financial roles in tech.

Was wondering if anyone has thoughts on such roles or...is it a dead end approach.

Interviewing for a Fund Accountant Private Equity job at Blackstone. Anyone know what it’s like/ what the hours are?

I’m curious what the accounting community thinks of people switching jobs every 2-3 years to gain different experiences rather than staying on a straight and narrow career path like the partners we work for? Seems like people outside of this industry see it as a good thing. I’m a high performing tax manager bored out of my mind every day so maybe it’s just me thinking it seems better to switch things up every few years.

As far as accounting advisory (CMAAS, FAAS, Etc) anyone have opinions on big 4 vs a more niche firm like Houlihan lokey or A&M? Currently at big 4 and thinking of moving out of audit, but not sure what the best next move is. As I understand it the smaller firms are more middle market, but can pay better and have better WLB? Anybody have any ideas on exit opps/other pro's and cons to consider? Thanks for your help!

Hi Bowlers,

Had a few job offers on the table from CPG and Tech (non-FAANG) companies for Senior Analyst type roles.

Without negotiating it seems like Tech pays more, is that true? Or can I still negotiate more with CPG companies?
