I'm a 1st year manager looking for M&A tax opportunities. Currently doing mostly compliance and ASC740 work for corporations and had seen some transaction related stuff but obviously not the one diving into all the details. Any tips on selling myself in interviews for the position? I think provision experience is very helpful but not sure what potential interviewers are looking for. Also any tips on making the move to M&A is appreciated. TIA!

I applied for one position at amdocs some time back, online interview was scheduled but I couldn't attend the interview for some reason.

Is this situation considered in 6 months criteria?

I am on the brink of quitting my consulting gig. I had a good record up until this project, where I really struggle and have a very disengaged team and highly political and bureaucratic client. My firm might be too small to just roll me off.. I have a few interviews lined up, but I don’t have a job offer yet.

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Newbie on the block wanted to ask how long the hiring process usually takes (for a junior or intern)?

How is Corporate VC typically viewed by those in industry? What makes a “good” Corporate VC over others? Coming from T2 consulting and was wondering if Corporate VC is an easier stepping stone to VC.

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

My HR rep told me that to apply for your CPA license in MA you only need 1 year of work experience, not 2009 billable hours. Didn't sound right- can anyone confirm/deny?

We are hiring! Great work/life balance and exposure. PM me if you want a referral.

How do you decide between two job offers? I have a gut feeling that one is better than the other. But I don’t want to move from one not great working place to another. Same salary. Both startups but one is closer to ipo than the other. But have a better feeling about the one that’s not close to ipo. What should I do?

Does anyone here have experience with In-Q-Tel? I see an analyst role that I think might be an excellent fit, but I'm curious about the culture and pay. Thanks!

Reached theoretical financial freedom (4% of networth covers 120% of my yearly spending)
What should I do?
-Motivation to grind at BCG is not here anymore and honestly the experience here was underwhelming (~1y as a C, lateralled from other firm)
-Still too risky to open own lifestyle business
-Option to exit to industry for a few years at a 9-6 job?
-Option to do some side hustles?

Anything I should consider when making my decision? Any risks I haven't foreseen?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Due to a recent company-wide increase and additional pay for bilingual direct reports I am only making a dollar and change above them as their supervisor. I was hired into this position in March, having been the first employee in this department. I really tried to get them to budge on salary, they did not, but shortly after accepting they gave the whole company a dollar raise.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

I like my current job, company and public accounting.

Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year.
