Do you work in FS consulting?

No audit. I do wealth management for my family/extended family though. Probably manage around $40M total

Like financial planning?

I mean, financial planning doesn’t seem that hard to get into with an accounting background. I’ve had several tax colleagues exit to FP opps, but I don’t know how well it pays compared to your current role

Been here 1.5 years and was told I was getting a management promotion 5-6 months ago.Still no solid traction and they are opening up a req for it 😑no one on the current sales team has ever been promoted (2 years)except our boss who has been promoted 3 times.
