People I know who left to FA in NYC work 50 hour weeks and 60+ for close. Not fun and VERY VERY tedious work. You learn your job in 3 months and that's all you'll do.

Pigeon holed and boring. I was at KKR as a fund accountant and left. Not for me. If there’s one thing I’d def not recommend it would be that

Fund accounting will drain your soul but it’s steady and little to no overtime (compared to the rest of the accounting finance industry).

The upside potential is limited but it’s also not too challenging imo

I didn’t like it, not much flexibility compared to audit and hours weren’t any better for me.. just a never ending busy season except for 1-2 weeks each month. Also very heavy into the details down to the dollar, whereas audit is less detailed and more about reasonableness

Hii fishes, I'm currently working as a Business Analyst (Tech role) with 2+ yoe and I'm on notice period (lay off like situation) without any job offer. I'm seeking the job referral in similar profile in Delhi-NCR preferably, if anyone can help. Advices and suggestions are also welcome. Thanks.

I'm drowning in one-off business logic or planning requests ever since the last shuffle of devs. I'm the most senior, and def know the most, but on a team where our devs wear many hats, it means that I don't get to code nearly as much as I want to.

I also feel like these one-off requests do nothing for my career, as they're not seen as valuable to anyone other than the requesters.

Has anyone been in this position? What do I do to combat this?

Maybe I’m biased due to having poor luck, but why is dating so hard? Everyone just wants the next best thing and no one is ever satisfied. One argument and people sprint for the door instead of reconciling as they have “options.”

People on dating apps seem like they’re only on there to validate themselves to feel better when they get “likes” or “swipes,” but will not respond when messaged.

I honestly don’t think true love is a real thing.
