I am 18 years old and am doing some research on the best jobs in finance. So many people online say that wealth management is the way to go (more pay and less hours), is this true?

Is it recommended to get two full years of consulting experience before looking for a move elsewhere...for more comp (say to another Big 4, industry, attempt at MBB or FAANG)? Already have 8 yoe in the DoD space outside of consulting. And about 16 months of consulting exp

Advice please! I fell into my role (3 yrs) after 20 years in high commission sales. I went from managing a customer service team to overseeing the entire company in 18 months. It's a small tech startup that has done really well. Most of my job is project management and operations. We have 6 clients with 8 brands and usually have at least 1-3 marketing projects going on for each brand at any given time. I only have an associates degree....

I have a MHA, MBA, and BSHA. I’m wanting to get into a supervisor or manger role but I don’t have the experience. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I dive in and start getting the experience I need? I live in Washington and work in Oregon. Also, anything using my MBA would be favored as well, this degree is not healthcare specific. Thank you!

As a (class of 2020) second year whose several classmates from different groups are already thinking about leaving/going to other firms, should I explore other options too? Don’t know if they’re being dramatic about how bad it is or if I’m just drinking the koolaid in my group?

Media is by far my biggest weakness. Planning a transition over to client side in the next 1-2 years. What are the best resources (other than incessantly bothering my over taxed media team) to gain lower mid-tier knowledge. Really looking to develop a strong BS meter and ask intelligent questions in the future.

I need to switch teams or firms. Been here for a year and no development or projects with my team. Gay network help! Lol

Hi Fishes
Is being a Salesforce developer a desired skill in the IT market ? (Present and 10years from now)

Yoe : 1.3
Current tech stack : SQL, INFORMATICA, Service Now

Have you ever heard of an Associate Account Supervisor? Is that a role/position that exists anywhere? Is it just above Senior Account Executive? What would the responsibilities entail?

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing). It sounds great, but I am worried about the disruption this industry is facing with Robo advisors and other low cost, DIY options. I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?

I’m a junior full-stack developer. What job titles should I be looking at where I can use my skills?

Is it difficult landing an in-house position as only a second year corporate associate in big law? I know some people who went in-house straight out of law school and some who had no transactional background but went in-house after just a year of practice. Not having that same luck on my end.

Anyone has moved to Germay or other part of Europe and successfully landed a job as a US CPA?

Hi guys,
Just wanted to know from your experiences. Which one is better in respect of career growth. Production support role or developer role. Bit confused. I have experience in both.but my manager is wanting me to work in production support.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

If you had a chance to take all of these certs, CSM, PSM, SAFe, PMI ACP, which one them would you do first and why?

Thank you

Hello Fishes, I'm planning to join Deloitte india in the second week of November, I have got a designation of "Manager". I'm from a technical background (SF DevOps).

Happy weekend everyone

Day 9 - 40 push ups challenge ✅ ( 30 regular, 10 diamond 😤 and 10 extra inverse).

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)

Hi Guys,

I have completed my tech interview rounds with UBS and have received email for fitment round.

Can anyone share what happens in this fitment round on interview?
HRs have asked to submit documents even before this fitment round; which seems unusual. Is this normal for UBS and this is how they progress?

Thank you.

Does having student loans impact your ability to get a mortgage?

I didn’t get into any schools this past application cycle but got into H/S. I feel like I’m going to be incredibly insecure meeting my classmates this fall who probably got into every school with crazy scholarships too. Do people typically share where else they got in, GMAT, etc. when you go to school?

Given how many mbas want to go into pm, does being a pm (with consulting experience) today give you a leg up as an applicant

Hi,

I have cleared all rounds in KPMG GS for Assistant Manager position and due for HR discussion, how much should I ask for ?

I worked with a Junior AD that skipped college and went straight to portfolio school. I was mad resentful of him at first, mostly because I wish I would have thought of that and saved $100K.

I want to get out of IT Audit Advisory. Interested more in project management/business strategy, any recommendations on names of positions I should look for at other big 4 firms?

Got a tough decision now
My current job pays around :120k

What would you choose and what else would you consider?

I am currently finishing up CFP course work. Does anyone have tips or tricks for studying for the actual exam? I am particularly concerned about the investment planning section. I have 12 plus years in the industry and CRPC. I do planning literally everyday but a test is a test and this is the module I have had the most trouble with.

For as much as women claim to support each other in the work place, I routinely see you going out of your way to hurt other female co-workers in ways you would never think of hurting male co-workers.

Any insight on CAIA? Difficulty and whether it impacts salary?

What is the value in professional certifications? ACCA, CFA, CIPD, etc.

FRM is has narrow focus, demands depth, quick to complete

Roth vs Traditional 401k, thoughts?

Is fishbowl only available on the US App Store?

Are there any expats here?

Are cover letters important if they don’t ask for one? There are so many job postings and applicants I can’t tell if they would be beneficial to show effort or just a waste of time to write with how little time I assume people are looking at applications with the mass hiring going on. If I should be writing one, any advice how to format?

"How do the markets respond when the POTUS is retweeting terrorist propaganda?" Was never something that I expected to discover the answer to...

Has anyone done the GARP Financial Risk and Regulation course? Was it educational? Did you do the FRM after?

Can someone connect me to a business analyst role that doesn’t require a ton of prior business analyst experience? I have ~1.5 YOE in valuation (modeling, financial statement analysis) and am looking to make a switch. Mainly looking for a role with less hours than I’m currently working (60-70). Thank you I’m advance

Can someone please for the love of god help me figure out how I can pay less income taxes? I only make 88k and I put the 12k standard deduction but I’m still getting taxed 27% of my paychecks! My sign on bonus (20 even) a few months ago was taxed nearly 45%! Excuse my ignorance, but am I doing something wrong? Will increasing deductions help or should I increase the withholdings? Is this normal?! Thanks for any help/advice, it’s greatly appreciated.
