I’m 3 years out of undergrad with 2 years of public accounting (audit) and 1 year of analytics consulting. I’m a CPA. What are some laid back corporate roles that I can transition into but still take advantage of some of the experience I have. Very sick of client facing roles with super competitive and micromanaging management

Following, kind of in the same boat.

Also want to make you aware of the comp you should be looking at. I went from Deloitte audit with three years to D analytics, and am getting 135k base right now after one year in analytics. You got shafted… but your next employer won’t know that, you should be aiming for 150k minimum.

Ahh, understood. We call Deals part of the consulting solutions group. I see the distinction you’re making though.

What is your current comp?

I'd shoot for senior financial analyst or business analyst roles

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
