Has anyone heard of any pivots for a chartered accountant besides audit/finance? As part of my consulting role it was in my contract to complete the icaew chartered accountancy degree. Currently working in internal audit and not set on continuing. UK based at the moment.

Do you want to stay in the accounting field? At our company so many of our tech people have come from the accounting space. Attention to detail and an affinity for understanding IT can help finance domain experts excel in IT.

It was more the people-oriented business management / consulting aspect I chose this job for, though the further I go down this road the more it’s becoming purely individual, spreadsheet-centred work.
Thanks though - almost all of my tech risk colleagues noticed this opportunity and have moved on because of it

You could do forensic accounting consulting.

Companies to look at - Ankura, Alvarez, FTI, Alix, BRG for some of the boutique firms.

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?

I applied for and was screened by HR for a Director position. It wasn't a good fit but I was passed over to another VP. I had a phone interview with that VP which went very well. He expressed interest in creating a Director level role for me based on my experience and interests. I received feedback via a 3rd-party recruiter that the company is in the process of creating a req. and will bring me on-site for another interview. Problem: They changed the level to Principal Eng. What should I do?

Feeling a bit lost, working as a Mid-Market account manager for a listed company in Aus and moved across from marketing (3yrs exp) last year.

Company restructures so I've landed in an great paying position but it's a dead end and will probably be made redundant in 12-18 mths, and it's a tick box role (won't learn much tbh).

Do I look to go back to marketing with a pay cut, look at a different company in sales (but don't have much exp), or ride this out and reassess in 6-12mths? Thank you.
