I'm offered an entry-level role in P&G's finance role. I'm currently working on a tier 2 management consultancy firm as an intern,and they're going to offer me a job soon.

I want to go for p&g because I think work life balance will be better. it really hurts me. but everyone around me says that it would be a terrible decision.. or at least I should switch to brand managemenr because finance is less important than it..

what do you think?

P&G is a great company and looks very nice on a resume. Who would pay more?

Ouch that is so tough. 30% is a lot to give up. But for me, wlb is more important. I don't want to work 14 hour days becasue that is less time that I get to spend with my family. It all depends on what is most important to you.

I would not make a decision based on perceived better work life balance - key word being "perceived." WLB can be hard to find in finance, in general. Do not expect to get off the hook there by going with p&g. Second, keep in mind that with those sacrifices come increased salary and benefits, which don't hurt. It's just the reality of this industry. Better to decide now if that's what you want.

Trust your gut in this situation. P&G is a great name to have on a resume but you have to deal and confront what your best opportunity is in the present.

Hey, work life balance is so crucial, especially in our industry. It's essentially non existent so if you get promised that aspect will get better then I'd jump on it.

Have you tried to get promoted/shift internally to have better WLB or pushed to have direct reports (if you already dont have one) to delegate some of the work? 30% drop in this inflationary environment is hard to absorb in my view.

If I were you, I'd cosnider an internal shift as well. If it doesn't work out, then you can switch companies.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations.

I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.
