I’m actively seeking roles and have been interviewing with many companies since August. I’ve turned down a few and still working some leads. Looking to see what is out there and how I can further my skills and knowledge. With the pandemic and WFH the opportunities are greater if I’m willing to WFH permanently. I’m a woman in agencies and it’s not a kind world as we age. I need to advance and open my skill set to be relevant and in demand.

So far I’ve taken opportunities as they come. Hear out opportunities that come my way through my network or LinkedIn and if they are interesting, I pursue.

That has been my approach as well but wanted to see how others are actively managing their career and learn from their experience.

Is CPA crucial to break into banking?

I am going to work as Audit Associate at KPMG in 2023. I am thinking to stay there for more than a year, then make an attempt into banking. I really hate the CPA exams for its soul-crushing elements. I am rather planning to break into the top MBA programs at the time. I have financial resources to do so but I feel quite mixed after getting the Macc for KPMG position without pursuing the CPA.

What kind of companies pay more than $200k base and what practice areas? Remote or Texas. I’m a new attorney between M&A and L&E, but I’m willing to switch practice areas for the best exit options in the future (4-5 yoe).

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
