is an exit to a high growth startup as fpa worth it? I'm tired of audit and the busy season hours, but fp&a at a startup looks like some long hours are expected?

can anyone chime in on their opinion? thanks!

It all depends on what your career goals are and what your risk appetite is. Pivoting to FPA at a start up could be the best thing you do to jump start your career but also could be a waste of time

I went through something very similar - was in audit and very unhappy. Knew I wanted to do videography but felt like I needed time to “prepare” myself. So I got a consulting job to escape audit but now feeling like my time in consulting was a waste and am starting videography stuff now 😃

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

TIA!!

Job transition question: I recently accepted an offer for a new role with Merrill Lynch, the following day I was fired from my previous employer. I haven’t filled out the updated work history background check info yet. The reason for termination was due to performance expectations not being met. Should I reach out to my new employer and let them know that I’ve been terminated? Should I just put the termination update on the background check form and leave it at that? Wondering what I should do.
