I’m looking to advance my skillset and to boost my resume so I’m more appealing to hiring managers. What are the best ways to do this? Are there any qualifications that aren’t too timely or expensive that I can work on over the next few months?

AAT, QuickBooks, Xero, Excel, wherever you feel you’d benefit from some deeper learning, is a great place to look at. I’d also look at job postings and see what they are asking for.

I’m already AAT qualified and have the Xero certification. I’d love to learn more about excel though, how do I go about doing that??

I would suggest networking with others moreso than doing certs. Right now the job market is really rough. A referral can sometimes make a big difference.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!
