I have a unique query and would like to get some advice. My brother did his graduation in 2018 with 55% marks after that he was preparing for gov jobs but couldn't make it.Now he is considering to make a career in IT mostly data analytics or in testing.
Kindly suggest if it is possible and what are the steps he should take in order to achieve this.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello all, I apologize if this is a basic or obvious question. I just wanted to know do any mid size firms hire new grads for FDD positions? Are most of the transaction teams ex-auditors with 2yoe? Thank you!

Hi 👋 Nice to have this bowl here! I’m a CPA with 5 years experience in tax who recently realized that I can’t stand doing compliance anymore. Decided to get my masters in CIS and Data Analytics to pivot into tax tech originally but I am afraid I won’t use all my newly learned skills if I stick with tax technology in Big4. Do you code at all in tax tech? Or is it lostly macros and Alteryx?

Always feel two pulls — to go all in to snag an exit to PE ...and then there’s the part of me which wants to do Bridgespan/Dalberg or Gates Foundation, World Bank type of work? Has anyone else been in this position? What did you end up choosing?

Hey yall, considering a switch from my gov litigation job to an entertainment boutique. I know opportunities to retool into entertainment postgrad are rare. However, the boutique only has 2 attorneys right now. Is that a red flag or pretty standard in the industry?

Hi all,

Need some advice on my next career move. I'm 31, have an MBA and am currently a SC in Risk Advisory with no M&A experience. I am good at risk consulting work but don't find it very challenging or interesting. That said, I expect to get promoted to M next year.

Recently, I interviewed with another Big 4 firm for SC in CDD M&A team and have got an offer. I enjoyed doing the CDD case study, and I believe I'd do well in the role.

Does it make sense to start afresh in M&A at this stage?

Hi guys, I have got one full time job for 14LPA from 10.5LPA in Coforge for BA role. On the other hand, I have one more offer for Canada and the job is on 2 years contract basis with 80k CAD per annum where I have to sign 2 years agreement as well that I can’t back out once I get the offer. I was interested to go CA but scared in terms of job security, economic slowdown and a big change. Is it worth going to CA on contract basis job declining the full time opportunity in India.

I left my 1st job out of college 2 years ago. I know people who went back. And lately I’ve been considering it a lot. It was a small federal contracting company. The client was amazing. I left because I wanted to explore what a bigger company had to offer. Would it be weird to reach out to see if there’s any possibility of coming back? Left on a great note and am still in touch with a lot of people there. I just really miss the team, client, low stress, flexibility (alternative work schedule).

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE). They seem to vary a lot, and are broadly low vs. other markets (mid $100k-low $200k vs TC closer to $300-$400k+ on the coasts). Any observations? Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?

I’m considering switching from in-house accounting to internal audit for many reasons but am also concerned if the money is a lot less in IA over the long term. Any advice on that plus the switch in general?

How hard is switching from Audit to FP&A? They tend to like people with finance background and very in depth industry experience. I’m five years in audit from b4 to IA and jumping out from audit could only get me some senior accountant roles.

How to go about resigning during COVID? Obviously can’t do it in person so who have people called versus emailed? Do I need a formal resignation letter? How do I set up the call without it being obvious what it’s about? Clearly new to a 2 week notice so any advice would be great 😂

Moving to a job for a manager/controller role for a smaller company. Past coworkers put in a good word for me and basically hyped me up to their boss.

Any advice going in?
