Revenue is taken =total contract value / number of days in subscription

Expenses related to events are taken at the time of the event, but if the benefit of the item you bought will be used over time you can spread the total cost over the time you are using it. Also if you pay for a subscription it can be expensed over the license period.

That’s FP&A

I’d focus on building a knowledge of what you want to get across and why you’re interested. Interviewers like passion/excitement.
Ie. I want to pay my bills is less impressive than I have a desire to do FPA here to understand (insert industry) business and as I grow my knowledge grow with the company and become a greater asset to the company. Also make sure you get across you have a growth mindset. You should not be expected to know much but you will be more desired if you have a I’m excited to learn glint in your eye.

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.
