Hello everyone! I will have the potential to have two offers one for staff accountant and one for internal audit. Anyone know of any pros and cons for each type of role that isn’t the obvious?

They are drastically different roles. As a staff accountant, you can always transition to IA later - would be harder to do that the other way around. I see being a staff accountant as offering more versatility. However, if you already know you don’t like accounting, IA can give you more versatility to meet other people in the business to transition into non-accounting roles. You’ll definitely continue to feel like an auditor in IA (stating the obvious), while accounting will get you into close, into the details, etc. There is definitely an added benefit to having that experience. I realize it’s hard to think long term but once you dive in your opportunities will open up and you’ll have a clearer picture of what does and doesn’t interest you.

Thank you so much!

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks

Hi All
Does anyone have my information on the role Assistant Manager PPM.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
