Has anyone had experience going from audit senior to a financial analyst type role? Been in audit for 3 years. I think I know I don’t want to be an accounting manager or controller. Glad I have the opportunity to learn in my current role but trying to think about next steps in my career.
Any info /advice would be greatly appreciated!

Are you at all interested in FDD?

Financial analyst is sometimes really just senior accountant. Make sure you ask questions about the specifics of the job. The best way to get an idea if you would like it is to talk to your potential boss, coworkers, and direct reports to get an understanding of what a normal day & a normal year look like.

Hey All,

Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
