I’m ready to leave public after 2 busy seasons. I’ve been talking to a lot of recruiters. Many of them are suggesting a business analyst role. Is anyone on here currently in that type of role? Can you

I’m not but just wanted to say to be careful with recruiters. They only get paid when you switch jobs so they’re incentivized to help place you somewhere as quickly as possible. Make sure you do your research about the roles (like you are by asking this Q!) and think hard about what you wanna do!

There was one guy I stopped talking with because he replied “but they are a great company :)” to my list of reasons why I didn’t like what he showed me. Moved on to the next recruiter (there should be plenty in your inbox, there was for me with 2 busy seasons in) and found jobs that actually matched what we discussed.

It depends on the company. Titles aren’t universal unfortunately. I switched to be sr business analyst and I do accounting stuff like preparing Recs and testing controls, researching accounts, etc, but I also do finance stuff like analyzing fluctuations.

I do okay, but definitely have to take on more litigation than I prefer. I was thinking estate planning might be a good addition to the mix.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
