Good afternoon.

I'm a Staff Accountant with almost 8 years of experience. I have worked my way up over this time in corporate America and am in the US. Does anyone know of any roles available or have any advice? I've been looking for months, but haven't been able to get any traction. Looking for $75K or more.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have your CPA? $75k is too low for 8 years, can you provide more detail about your experience?

I don't not currently have it. I'm not in a place in my life currently to take the time or have the funds for it, so not sure if there's something else I could do right now to help me stand out.

I started in AP, then Treasury, the Staff Accountant (2 different companies). I have also done AR, journal entries, worked with financials, and worked with budgets.

You mention worked your way up, but still staff accountant after 8 years- maybe that’s where the issue is when reading resume without being able to explain

I'm not necessarily looking to move up, just looking for a remote position - if staff Accountant is the highest I go, that's fine. Just any advice to get a remote position in this job market

Do you have an accounting degree? If so you could go into public acctg as a staff and make 75k or more.

I do - a BSBA in Accounting and an MBA. I've been in corporate Accounting my entire career, so I haven't had the need to get my CPA (not possible at this point financially, but maybe down the road).

I wouldn’t be surprised if you could transfer to a different PA firm and make more than 75k… I’m starting next October as a brand new staff at a top 10 firm in a small-mid size city and the offer is currently for 81,000.

I'm currently in corporate America and have been with companies with an Accounting department my entire career. Not sure if I'm able to move over to a firm without a CPA (not possible at the moment for me to get, maybe down the road). Just looking for at least $75k and any other advice for remote options

Hey guys! Currently in WM ops at Morgan Stanley for the past 1 year dealing with alternative lending, I’m super underpaid with 3 years of experience which is very frustrating. (73k). Have been at Morgan for 1 year and looking to come over to JPM for an ideal pay bump, but would like to get into IB type roll. Any insight on what I should expect or how to go about applying? Maybe even getting referred? I have a deep knowledge of investments and always felt inclined to go down this route.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

I was told that even if the dates don't overlap when they are announced sometime next year, I may still not be able to do both because of reasons related to the firm?
If this is the case then I may have look for another internship that I can do before the fellowship.
