Going into my A3 year in audit. Finally taking CPAs but have only passed one so far. Got an offer for FDD associate role at another B4 firm. Is it dumb to leave for associate role or should I not expect a senior role without the experience or CPA?

Take it, your exit opps from FDD are much better than audit

If the pay is more I’d take it. Job title is not that important to me. Which B4 by the way? I’m an A2 going into senior in audit at RSM. How did you get the role? Did you reach out to a recruiter?

Some skills are transferable from audit but there is a steep learning curve in fdd. A lot of times you have to drop in title for a year until you get your legs under you. If it is what you really want to do then go for it

Hi, looking for some advice. I’ve been a medical assistant for 10 years, and am finishing up my bachelor’s in healthcare management. However finding hard looking for practice or office manager positions, as they’re looking for people with 3+ years of management experience. How can I get an organization to take the chance to invest in me and give me the opportunity to prove I have what it takes. We all have to start somewhere.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

Debating a role in the c-suite advisory capacity. In general, is it better to have exposure to higher level within the organization for career growth?

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
