I applied for a Sr, FP&A Manager position and made it to round 3 which is a excel assessment test. I was told that test must be done in 2 hour timeframe from when email is sent to me. I've been out of work since May 2024 so super nervous about my skills now and especially testing. I'll report to the VP of FP&A but largely support sales. Has anyone done an assessment test lately? Where can I practice? What questions should I expect?

Kind of weird for someone of your position doing an assessment. It can't be too advanced.

I too was surprised at the request for a test. It was an actual FP&A assessment.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

Does anyone know the salary of a beginner para planner at Ameriprise or any other broker-dealer?

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].
