In IT audit and realized I HATE it, how hard would it be to transfer within the firm to something not audit related at all? As a first year. Anyone seen it done??

I would say in your second year. Prove you add value to the firm. Earn your stripes.

Before you can consult, you need a base of knowledge and experience from which to consult. A lot of times, that’s audit, at least in PA.

Hello FinTech community!
Currently looking to fill 3 headcount in my team at a London based Series D Unicorn FinTech startup.

The team, including these roles are 100% remote, although you must be based in the UK.

If working in an office is more your style, we have the option to book desks on an ad-hoc basis.
We’re currently moving to our brand new office, near London Bridge.

Hope to hear from you!

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

I’m also concerned about more states piling onto BlockFi and turning them into a bitconnect or cred or something. Unlikely i know but curious about folks thoughts.
