How naive my friend. Look around for ton of examples

I made the move and it’s been great. The skill set you need js actually very similar. If you can audit, you can learn any new role. My team expected me to come in knowing nothing, it’s been just fine

What level were you when you transitioned? Sr audit to sr FPA?

I'm trying to right now

Trying to but I feel it is really hard. Financial analysts requires a different skill set.

It’s been great, my role is combined accountant/analyst. I’ve learned so much within few months than I would’ve in Audit.

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

This is my first “real” industry job so I’m not too sure. Is it too soon in my career to consider looking else where? The area I live has a pretty height cost of living. (F23)

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
