Has anybody pivoted from accounting to a Business Analyst position? Been casually looking at potential jobs that can utilize an accounting background. Open for input regarding that type of position or other jobs that benefit from an accounting background that isn’t accounting as well.

Public Accounting is a non-starter lol. Looking to get out of that nonsense, not dive further into it.

Audit. Specially financial audit either external or internal audit benefit from the Accounting background.

If you are looking for more life balance I would recommend internal audit. And you also have the possibility to move to the operational side of things which Accounting is not used for but is based on a risk and process approach.

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?

Hi Guys!
I am a Senior SF Admin with 9 years of SF experience. Mostly I look after a team consisting of Admins and do all usual Admin stuff plus BA/Consultant work. I recently got a very good offer from a Product company but the job role is Salesforce Support Manager. Though I don't mind being in support vertical but I am worried that I might drift away from SFDC Domain and get involved more in the Support process and eventually take my career away from Salesforce.
