I was in your shoes. I stuck it out. Started at $57k at age 31. Im 38 now and make over $250k with bonuses. You can advance quickly if you do well and put in the time. Find the right peoole to support you in growing. I made SM in 5.5 Years.
yeah i’m calling bullshit no one makes sm in 5.5 years at big4 unless they were an experienced hire
DO NOT TRADE OPTIONS. ITS GAMBLING FOR 99% OF US
I’ve seen some people make manager super quickly as career changers who were willing to grind. Don’t trade options unless you want to lose all your money
If you’re looking to maximize earning potential, and assuming you don’t want to make partner, then then move to FDD, learn for a year or two, then switch to A&M
FDD is the quickest route to earning more.
Wouldn’t suggest going down the coding path for earnings purposes unless you are very, very dedicated to it. This is the route I took and I left accounting for data engineering, but it was a 4 year grind of upskilling + a masters in CS to even get my resume looked at.
