I'm currently a senior 1 in audit at EY looking for new job opportunities. If I leave now, will I be stunting my growth? Would it be worthwhile to stay until manager and then make the jump?

It depends on what you want to do in the future. I think leaving early is better for technical growth and overall career trajectory, especially if you're moving into an accounting/ops role. The longer you stay, the more it pigeon holes you. It's easier to move out of audit at more junior roles.

It depends on your career goals. Reflecting and clarifying what you want will help inform your decision. Continuing to climb the ladder where you are may prevent a pivot later on. What is making you consider leaving?

Can I ask why you don’t like insurance area? Is that because of the technical that you don’t like ?

The job market is whack right now. I might stick around purely for job security/seniority, especially if you’re well liked at EY.

As far as stunting your growth, it depends what you’re looking to jump into and what your goals are. Are you just going to another PA firm? If so, not necessarily. It’ll be more of the same, just new clients. If you’re going into industry, it’s really a matter of whether or not you’re hireable for the roll you want with your current qualifications. Even then, it’s not like you stop growing, you just grow in a different direction.

I definitely don't want to move to another PA firm. I want to move into an FP&A, financial analyst, or industry type role.

You want to ensure you find a role with good trajectory.

If you’re looking to go into a new field, make the switch now. If you wait till manager and decide to try something new, you’d be coming in at a junior level essentially. The extra years for manager wouldn’t have been worth it, but if you do decide to go back into something similar, manager will have been worth it. Up to you and your future goals

Depends on the client - our company does staff augmentation consulting, so it depends on what you work out with your client. Some people don’t go in at all, while others go 3-4 days a week

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?

DE&I is now a core leadership competency. If you are managing diverse talent, it’s important to understand what the term “privilege” means within a DE&I context so you can lead your team to higher levels of inclusivity+develop optimal strategies for solutioning around team issues/challenges. Everyone has some aspect of privilege depending upon the context. Privilege means the absence of obstacles/barriers, not necessarily the presence of perks. Though some would say *that* itself is a perk.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
