I want to leave audit to go into FP&A at a private company in the future. Is 1 year as a Senior Audit Associate enough experience to get a Senior Analyst position?

Yes. An extra year in audit will not necessarily service you to be more qualified for FP&A.

Dependent on your experience. But generally I would say yes it’s enough

Completely depends on size of the company but generally quite rare to go from audit to senior analyst in FP&A. It is more likely that you have a better shot at applying to FP&A analyst roles that are looking for individuals with 1-2 years of general finance/big 4 accounting background

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.
