Hi all, I’m looking to pivot into an entry level Finance role, ideally FP&A. I have a Mathematics degree and 2 years at Accenture in tech consulting and operations, where I developed strong analytical and Excel skills working with data and stakeholders. I’m seeing many entry level FP&A roles still ask for finance experience or qualifications. Any advice on entry routes, study paths or how to position myself would be really appreciated. Open to connections.

You call yourself a director. At least here. Will depend on what’s on the cv as most companies are not interested in a reboot of a career or someone downleveling.

By Finance, do you mean accounting or Finance ? Sometimes these are used inter-changeable.

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.

Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at
Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

What has your experience been with new job offers and counter offers from current employers? In my opinion, if I’m looking to leave it is because I’m unhappy and excited about the new role I’ve been offered. I’ve never been interested in a counter offer and it seems like it would ruin relationships with both employers. Interested to hear others opinions!
