Hiring manager recently told my colleague “you don’t choose a new role based on the team or client. Those change. you choose the agency.” I see their point but I disagree—my day to day happiness is more a product of my immediate team and client. I’m curious what others think about that.

Anyone I know who’s worked on Samsung or Diageo might want to have a word. If the agency knows they have problematic clients they keep for the dollars, I’d choose them if I’m confident they can move me without firing me.

Literally the opposite of what I believe in and tell others. Never work for a company or an agency! It's ALWAYS about the people! Think about the worst people you've worked with, and put them in roles of people you work with now and tell me if you would feel the same way? People make ALL the difference.

Hi Fam,

Looking at leaving audit, for a financial analyst and small Corp Dec roles for small corps.

A few of the roles ask for financial modelling, but I'm unsure if it is DCF (per my old finance classes) and need IB level type work or just quick and easy excel modelling for sensitivity/variances from different parameter changes.

Seems like a vague term.

Would love to get some insight on people who perform financial modelling in their work and had it in their position description.

Thanks

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
