Hi guys, I’m enough with audit so checking jobs recently. I noticed that for accounting advisory/consulting, the requirement is always “having x years experience in advisory…” or they just hire NG. Does that mean it’s very hard to mark a switch? Or should I gain more yoe and an mba then try?

What kind of consulting? Accounting advisory is a very common pivot from audit so is transaction advisory but those jobs are harder to come by at the moment

I just put in accounting advisory in LinkedIn, as I am not sure what kind of consulting is the best fit for me. But as you said, it’s hard to find any kind of job at this moment.

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
