Hi all, I am currently working at BNY since 2.5 years in Derivatives. I also have few years of experience in equity research and auditing along with a masters in finance and CPA. I’m exploring Strategic finance as a potential career option. Anyone here working in this field that can provide some guidance on how to get into strategic finance? What are the important skills to have to crack this field?

I am so anxious right now! Just got a job offer 2 weeks ago and still waiting on the written offer letter. I asked for an update and the recruiter reached out 2 days ago letting me know that they had some final requirements that should be approved that day so they can send the offer letter out. It’s been 2 days. My question is can I message the recruiter for an update? Will that be too annoying?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
