I switched into finance/accounting consulting a couple years ago from audit. 10/10 would recommend

Audit to a finance or accounting consulting role is easy

That was my main concern but I'm thinking about switching next year from PA to consulting. I'm a senior now.

Switched from audit to Strategy and Analytics at deloitte. 1000% recommend it. Get out of accounting as soon as possible, counting other people’s money will never get you rich.

Not an easy process though, I had a portfolio of personal data visualization projects, and strong tech (python, power BI, tableau, SQL) and was a strong performer. Had to get an offer from another firm for deloitte to even consider moving me, and even then, I had to finish out a last busy season in order to transfer.

Hi all, I have the long-term goal of ultimately getting into a good Venture Capital firm at Associate level. I currently work at Amazon, did my undergrad and Masters in Economics at LSE. I have 2 main questions:

2) I have the option to internally transfer in Amazon to a product/program manager role or AWS in a start-up Manager role - which of these would be best to maximise my chances of eventually getting into VC?

I am currently doing a masters degree at Concordia so I believe 25$/hr would be more appropriate. Am I aiming too high?

Would appreciate any input. My friend is transitioning to another job. She’s put 4-week notice in accordance with her contract.
