In NYC, just graduated with a BBA in finance & have 1 year experience as a billing analyst doing expense reporting for a non-profit. I have a family member who can get me an interview at her advertised company doing yield mngt. She leads a team and makes 6 figures. I would start at 70k as an analyst with high potential for large increases every year or two.

Is it a good idea to go into go into this field or would a financial analyst career be more rewarding?

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!
