Have an interview tomorrow with a director of finance for a middle market health care group as an FP&A analyst with a splash of corporate strategy. Call will be roughly 30 minutes, not a video call, and mostly personality fit.

Anybody have any good questions I can ask or any tips?

Dude/dudette - if you’re asking about what questions to ask the interviewer for FP&A role then it’s probably not the right fit. At all. Just sayin...

Be yourself. FB won’t help. Put your best foot forward. Meditate and crush it.

Can’t edit the post but was thinking of advice for fp&a/finance questions I wouldn’t think of as a generalist consultant, personality wise yeah nobody can help over fb but thank you to all readers

Are you wanting to know what FP&A does or what?

Thinking of making the move to fp&a best of luck!

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
