I am a newly promoted senior auditor

I am trying to get into fp&a

Should I be applying to associate level roles or senior level roles?

I am thinking associate level since they are going to have to train me a lot since audit is much different.

Same boat. From what I’ve learned, this is company dependent. The large F500 will only take you as an Associate whereas others will generally take you as a Sr

Just passively looking at job postings these days. The advice that I’ve received is to get a couple months of Senior under my belt before making the move

Will vary by company, I’d apply to both experienced associate and senior roles and see where you land.

Senior for sure. A lot of FPnA roles revolve around accounting so you can get lucky! But yea apply everywhere! Pay and title .ale a difference

Thanks!!

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
