I’m stuck in career and need some advice for what to do next. I have a background in SALT where I did compliance, state tax notices, fin 48 calcs, and a little bit of restructuring. I was fortunate to land a role as a senior accountant but I don’t want to be a controller. So I’m thinking should I just go back to tax (I feel like I left because I wasn’t getting the proper training and mentor ship to succeed in the career). I’m also thinking should I pursue my MBA and switch over to finance to ...

Get into finance instead. I had an internship in finance as a financial controller at an investment bank which I enjoyed. I’m so confused. I love the aspect of research, modeling, and working with numbers which makes me say maybe tax was a good fit for you but you were too young to realize because of all the long hours. Help!!!!

The actual day to day of each job will change as you go through your career. Find what interests you and go for it.

If you are interested in West Michigan and going back to SALT, let me know as I am looking for help.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
