Hey everyone, I’m currently looking into going into advisory/consultant roles but don’t know where to start. I have 2YOE, I work in Federal Audit and Tax, but I don’t have my CPA. Is this a career path that needs to wait until I get my CPA?

I got into consulting with 1.5YOE and I don’t have a CPA. You don’t need one until you want to be at management level at my firm.

What would be the best method to transition from a financial advisory role to a more financial analyst focused position? Is this type of move unheard of/too difficult to do?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions.
