I am a first year financial analyst at a private company. It looks like my company will default on a debt covenant (not payment), and the CFO believes things will be bad. I am only 10 months in on the job. Should I start looking for other jobs? It looks like reckless spending at the company is causing the default. Will this hurt my career?

I think as long as you don’t job hop on the next one too quick it’s not bad. You can explain they were on track to default and your future employer should understand.

I’m currently a 2nd year associate in commercial finance. I’ve realized I don’t enjoy a a strictly transactional practice. I enjoyed litigation matters as a summer (particularly the adversarial nature). Also, love talking and advising clients. I don’t want the litigation lifestyle and appreciate the in-house opportunities of transactional. Assuming that I could switch (or lateral), I’m thinking I may enjoy employment (and the ability to defend and train/advise). I appreciate any insight.

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
