Hello, I applied for a controller job and they are considering me. I am currently a senior 3 but jumped firm and took a lower level to get in big 4. I think I can do the job but am freaking out now lol 😂. I am a CPA, I also have an MBA and a CFA , not that the MBA and CFA are relevant. I need help , how hard is the controller work?

From someone much wiser and more experienced than me:

1. Most people are faking it and acting competent in their roles but learning as they go and trying to make a “best guess” in every situation.

2. You will be surprised how people treat you and how you act more confidently simply by embracing the title/role.

Hey, I'm also a 3rd year Senior in Audit at a B4 and just applied to a Controller role. I'm NOT MBA and CFA though! The job title is very broad and there's lots of different job specs and requirements under the Controller title, I don't think it's crazy to throw your hat into the ring!

Good luck! Hope it's not the same role I've applied to cos sounds like you'll beat me!

Is there anything I could recommend her? She still has 4 weeks with them 🤦‍♀️

When you leave, does it make a difference to companies if you made it through at least a busy season as a senior or just that you have the title? I did have some experience this year as an A2 where I split some of the senior responsibilities with the manager. However, I’m worried if I leave before busy season, companies will see that as really just being an associate.

Leaving B4 after a year to purse a careering in banking. I make low 50s in my current role (A2). We haven’t received comp adjustments yet, but I’m assuming we won’t due to COVID. My new role will be paying me 80. It is roughly a 46% raise. I am hoping I do not short change myself in the long run, however it sounds like there is a lot of room for growth (one of the biggest banks in the US). Anyone think I made a mistake not staying until senior? 40+% raise seems rare.
