If you could design the “perfect” finance role, what would it include? For me: real P&L ownership and exposure to decision-makers.

A balance between the technical and business. Decisions based on the data, but with an understanding of the big picture.

Work-life balance. I don't know if it is just me or the roles I have had but none of them seem to have WLB. And it seems like everyone works more than 40 hours a week.

Heavy on this!
I moved jobs and it was the best decision I made. Took a drop in pay but after 18 months I was back to my usual pay.
I am now working however many hours it takes to get my work done (usually about 30 hours on average), from wherever and whenever I want! We have an office we can go into which we all do around once a week just to see each other. Oh my, it’s the best my mental health has ever been, and weirdly it’s the most close to a team I have ever been too as everyone is happy / no nastiness in the office!

When I’m in meetings all day I say something where I can just work on spreadsheets. When I’m looking at spreadsheets all day I say I’d rather be in meetings. Honestly, just something that isn’t too stressful

For me, it's definitely work-life balance.

I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google

I’m at a midsize firm in the Midwest and I’ve noticed that we’ve hired multiple associates who all graduated law school the same year.

Is there something I’m missing or is this something that will cause issues down the road?

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
